D Correct answer
Explanation

This is an AP with a = 36 and d = -4. The nth term is a + (n-1)d. For n = 48, term = 36 + (47 * -4) = 36 - 188 = -152.

AI explanation

This is an arithmetic sequence with the first term a = 36 and a common difference d = -4, requiring the nth term formula a + (n - 1)d to find the 48th term. Substituting the values gives 36 + (48 - 1) times -4, which simplifies to 36 + 47 times -4, or 36 - 188. The 48th term of the sequence is -152.
