Answer

Neither Geometric sequence nor arithmetic sequence.

Work Step by Step

From the statement, we have $a_n=n^2-3$ when $n=1,2,3,4$, then $a_4=${$-2,1,6,13$}. This implies that these terms are Neither Geometric sequence nor arithmetic sequence. Hence, the correct answer will be Neither Geometric sequence nor arithmetic sequence.
