Answer

A.P. with common difference $4$ and initial term $1$.

Work Step by Step

Since,we have $a_n=4n-3$ Thus, $a_1=1,a_2=5,a_3=9,a_4=13,a_5=17$ $a_2-a_1=5-1=4$; $a_3-a_2=9-5=4$; $a_4-a_3=13-9=4$ and $a_5-a_4=17-13=4$ Hence, we can conclude that this is an A.P. with common difference $4$ and initial term $1$.
