Not clear. Use parentheses.

The expression as you show it:

(-1)^n+1 (1/3n) -->

Other possibilities for what the expression is really supposed to be....

(-1)^(n+1) (1/3n) -->

(-1)^(n+1) ((1/3)n) -->

All of those possibilities either do not converge or converge but not to any of the given answer choices.

Re-post, showing the problem clearly.
