Sum of arithmetic series:

The given sequence is an arithmetic series with a common difference of 1. Let's denote the first term as 'a' and the number of terms as 'n'. The sum of an arithmetic series can be calculated using the formula:

Sn = (n/2)(2a + (n-1)d)

Where Sn is the sum of the series, a is the first term, n is the number of terms, and d is the common difference.

Calculating the sum:

In this case, the first term 'a' is 1 and the common difference 'd' is also 1. So, the formula becomes:

Sn = (n/2)(2 + n - 1)

Simplifying further:

Sn = (n/2)(n + 1)

Now, let's substitute the given value of 'n' and calculate the sum:

S4n = (4n/2)(4n + 1)

S4n = 2n(4n + 1)

S4n = 8n^2 + 2n

Determining the sum's value:

To find the value of the sum, we need to substitute the value of 'n' into the equation. However, since the options are not expressed in terms of 'n', we can do some algebraic manipulation to simplify the expression further.

Let's factor out n from the equation:

S4n = n(8n + 2)

We can see that 'n' is a common factor in both terms. Since 'n' represents the number of terms, it is always a positive value. Therefore, the sum can only be zero when '8n + 2' equals zero.

Setting '8n + 2' equal to zero and solving for 'n':

8n + 2 = 0

8n = -2

n = -2/8

Since 'n' represents the number of terms, it cannot be a negative value. Therefore, there is no value of 'n' for which the sum is zero. Hence, the correct answer is option 'B' - 0.

Conclusion:

The sum of the given arithmetic series is equal to zero.
