I thought c but textbook says that's wrong. Appreciate any feedback :)

Suppose that a sequence is defined by
aj = 1,
An +1 = (a, + 8).
To show that a, is monotonic using mathematical induction, which of the following would be the second step?
(A) Assume (ar+1+8) (ak+ 8) and show that ak+1 < ak
(B) Assume (ak +1+ 8) <= (ak+ 2+ 8) and show that af < ak+1
(C) Assume (ar+ 8) < (ak+1+ 8) and show that ar < ak+ 1
(D) Assume ak < ak+1 and show that (ak+1+ 8) < ÷ (ak+2+8)
(E) Assume (ak+2+ 8) (ak+1+ 8) and show that ak+1 < ak
(F) Assume ar S ak+1 and show that (ak+ 8) < ¿ (ar+1+ 8)
(G) Assume ak +1 < ak and show that (ak+2+ 8) < (ak+1+ 8)
(H) Assume ak +1 < ar and show that (ar +1 + 8) < (ar + 8).
