Solution

The next three terms of the geometric sequence can be found by multiplying the last term by the common ratio. In this case, the common ratio is 4/8 = 2/4 = 1/2.

So, the next term after 2 would be 2 * 1/2 = 1.

The term after that would be 1 * 1/2 = 0.5.

And the term after that would be 0.5 * 1/2 = 0.25.

So, the next three terms of the sequence are 1, 0.5, 0.25.

Therefore, the correct answer is d. 1, 0.5, 0.25.
