Solution

The correct option is A
Arithmetic progression

Explanation for the correct option:
Given, $a, b, c$ are in arithmetic progression,
If we divide the numbers in arithmetic progression with the same number, the resulting numbers will also be in arithmetic progression.
Divide by $a b c$ with all variable
$\frac{a}{a b c}, \frac{b}{a b c}, \frac{c}{a b c} \frac{1}{b c}, \frac{1}{a c}, \frac{1}{a b},$
Which are in arithmetic progression
Hence, correct option is (A).
