Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

The n th term formula of a geometric sequence is

[tex]a_{n}[/tex] = a [tex]r^{n-1}[/tex]

where a is the first term and r the common ratio

Using the second and fourth term, then

ar = 6 → (1)

ar³ = 54 → (2)

Divide (2) by (1)

[tex]\frac{ar^3}{ar}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{54}{6}[/tex] = 9

r² = 9 ⇒ r = [tex]\sqrt{9}[/tex] = 3 → C
