D. The sequence diverges by oscillation.

Step-by-step explanation:

an = (-1.00000004) n

From root test

L = Lim n->infinity (|an|) (1/n)

==> L = Lim n->infinity (|-1.00000004n|) (1/n)

==> L = Lim n->infinity (|-1.00000004|n) (1/n)

==> L = Lim n->infinity |-1.00000004|

==> L = 1.00000004 > 1

Hence series diverges.
