Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a common ratio r between consecutive terms in the sequence, that is

- 6 ÷ - 3 = - 12 ÷ - 6 = - 24 ÷ - 12 = 2

This indicates the sequence is geometric with n th term

[tex]a_{n}[/tex] = a₁ [tex]r^{n-1}[/tex]

where a₁ is the first term and r the common ratio

Here a₁ = - 3 and r = 2 , thus

a₁₁ = - 3 × [tex]2^{10}[/tex] = - 3 × 1024 = - 3072 → C
