D
4, 10.5, 17, 23.5, 30, …
E
625, 125, 25, 5, 1, …

Explanation

A sequence is geometric when the ratio between each pair of consecutive terms stays the same. In B, each term is multiplied by −1/2; in C, each term is multiplied by 1.2; and in E, each term is multiplied by 1/5. A and D have constant differences instead, so they are not geometric.
