b) starts at zero at the beginning of the first period and then increases by a constant amount each period.

Step-by-step explanation:

A series is called arithmetic gradient series if it increases or decreases periodically by a constant amount.

Examples are

0,.100,200,300, 400 ...

Decreasing series would be

1000, 800, 600., 400 ...

Thus the difference between the consecutive terms is a constant.

Hence here out of four definitions we find that

b) starts at zero at the beginning of the first period and then increases by a constant amount each period.
