Hint: Sequence is an ordered list of numbers. Each number in the sequence is called a term. There are different types of sequences which depends upon a specific rule on the basis of which sequence is formed.

Complete step-by-step answer:
A list of numbers or objects in a specific order is called sequence.
For example: $ 1,2,3,4.... $
Here the numbers are arranged in increasing order. It has some particular order.
So, the correct answer is sequence.
Additional Information
 $
  {1,3,5,7,9.....}
  { - 8,3,14,25....}
  {1,2,,4,8,16....}
$ are examples of sequence
The dots mean that the pattern of numbers continues in the same order in which it is established. Each number in the sequence is called a term.
In sequence $ \left( {1,3,5,7,9.....} \right) $ $ 1 $ is the first term, $ 3 $ is the second term , $ 5 $ is the third term and the notation $ {a_{1,}}{a_2},{a_3}......{a_n} $ is used to denote the different terms in sequence.
The expression $ {a_n} $ is referred to as the general or $ {n^{th}} $ term of the sequence.

So, the correct answer is “Option D”.

Note: A series is a sum of terms of sequence, a term is a single term of a sequence and constant is some fixed value. Therefore, they cannot be the answers.
