2.
T(1) = a = a(-1)⁰ = a(-1)¹⁻¹
T(2) = -a = a(-1)¹ = a(-1)²⁻¹
T(3) = a = a(-1)² = a(-1)³⁻¹
T(4) = -a = a(-1)³ = a(-1)⁴⁻¹
......
Hence, T(n) = a(-1)ⁿ⁻¹

...... The answer is : A. a(-1)ⁿ⁻¹

C is automatically not the answer, because all of the terms would be negative.

Your powers of a isn't increasing from the series you provided, which makes B not possible.
B would make a series of -a, a^2, -a^3, a^4...

A is the solution.
