Common Ratio
The common ratio in a geometric sequence is the constant factor between consecutive terms.
Geometric Sequence
A sequence of numbers where each term after the first is found by multiplying the previous one by a fixed, non-zero number called the common ratio.

Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
A geometric sequence is a sequence where each term is found by multiplying the previous term by a fixed number called the common ratio. In this sequence, the common ratio is -1, because we are switching signs between -11 and 11. Therefore, the answer is C) \boxed{-1}.
