It seems to be a variant of the Look-and-say sequence. –  Andres Caicedo Oct 2 '13 at 22:51
(You begin with one A, one B, one C. The second term in the sequence tells you that this is what you had. This second term consists of one 1, one A, one 1, one B, one 1, and one C. Etc.) –  Andres Caicedo Oct 2 '13 at 22:52
The correct answer is c... ABC; 1A1B1C; 111A111B111C; 311A311B311C; 321A321B321C; 321321321A321321321B321321321C. –  Victor Lellis Oct 2 '13 at 23:02
Victor, if you agree with the suggestion I'm giving of how the sequence is formed, your fifth and sixth terms are incorrect, the fourth terms begins with one 3, so the fifth term should begin 13... –  Andres Caicedo Oct 2 '13 at 23:09
Considering the variant of the Look-and-say sequence, the answer is e... but without this consideration and using another algorithm can be whatever answer. –  Victor Lellis Oct 2 '13 at 23:30
