Thearithmetic sequence is $\boxed{{\mathbf{2,4,6,8, \ldots }}}$ and it matches with $\boxed{{\mathbf{OPTION B}}}$ .

Further explanation:

It is given that the four options are as follows:

$\begin{aligned}{\text{OPTION A}} \to 1,2,4,8,\ldots\hfill\\{\text{OPTION B}}\to 2,4,6,8, \ldots\hfill\\{\text{OPTION C}} \to 1,2,4,7,\ldots\hfill\\{\text{OPTION D}} \to 1, - 3,2, - 6, \ldots\hfill\\\end{aligned}$

Now, for OPTION A, the sequence is $1,2,4,8,\ldots$ .

Here, the first term ${a_1}$ is , the second term ${a_2}$ is and third term ${a_3}$ is .

The common difference is the difference of the successive term and its preceding term.

Now, check whether the common difference is same or not. If same, then the given sequence is AP else not.

$\begin{aligned}{a_2} - {a_1} &= {a_3} - {a_2} \hfill\\\,\,\,\,\,2 - 1\mathop & _=^? \:4 - 2 \hfill \\\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,1 \ne2\hfill\\\end{aligned}$

Therefore, common difference is not same so it is not an arithmetic sequence so it does not matches with OPTION A.

Now, for OPTION B, the sequence is $2,4,6,8,\ldots$ .

Here, the first term ${a_1}$ is , the second term ${a_2}$ is and third term ${a_3}$ is .

Now, check whether the common difference is same or not. If same, then the given sequence is AP else not.

$\begin{aligned}{a_2} - {a_1} = {a_3} - {a_2}\hfill\\\,\,\,\,\,6 - 4\mathop =\limits^? 4 - 2\hfill\\\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,2=2\hfill\\\end{aligned}$

Therefore, common difference is same so it is an arithmetic sequence so it matches with OPTION B.

Now, for OPTION C, the sequence is $1,2,4,7,\ldots$ .

Here, the first term ${a_1}$ is , the second term ${a_2}$ is and third term ${a_3}$ is .

Now, check whether the common difference is same or not. If same, then the given sequence is AP else not.

$\begin{aligned}{a_2} - {a_1} = {a_3} - {a_2} \hfill\\\,\,\,\,\,4 - 2\mathop=\limits^? 2 - 1\hfill\\\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,2 \ne1\hfill\\\end{aligned}$

Therefore, common difference is not same so it is not an arithmetic sequence so it does not matches with OPTION C.

Now, for OPTION D, the sequence is $1, - 3,2, - 6,\ldots$ .

Here, the first term ${a_1}$ is , the second term ${a_2}$ is and third term ${a_3}$ is .

Now, check whether the common difference is same or not. If same, then the given sequence is AP else not.

$\begin{aligned}{a_2} - {a_1} = {a_3} - {a_2} \hfill\\\,\,\, - 3 - 1\mathop = \limits^? 2 + 3\hfill\\\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, - 4\ne5\hfill\\\end{aligned}$

Therefore, common difference is not same so it is not an arithmetic sequence so it does not matches with OPTION D.

Thus, the arithmetic sequence is $\boxed{{\mathbf{2,4,6,8, \ldots }}}$ and it matches with $\boxed{{\mathbf{OPTION B}}}$ .
