In option a the series has the same common difference and option b the series has the same common difference hence both are in A.P..

Check for Option C

\frac{4}{3},\frac{7}{3},\frac{9}{3},\frac{12}{3} \\ \\ a_2 - a_1 = \frac{7}{3} - \frac{4}{3} = 1 \\\\ a_3 - a_2 = \frac{9}{3} - \frac{7}{3} = \frac{2}{3} \\ $ Hence it is not an A.P.
