The question asks to identify which of the given sequences are arithmetic sequences (barisan aritmetika). An arithmetic sequence is one where the difference between consecutive terms is constant. Let's analyze each option:

### Analyzing the sequences:
1. **(a) 15, 18, 21, 24, ...**
   - Differences: \( 18 - 15 = 3 \), \( 21 - 18 = 3 \), \( 24 - 21 = 3 \)
   - Constant difference = 3. **This is an arithmetic sequence.**

2. **(b) 8, -2, -12, -22, ...**
   - Differences: \( -2 - 8 = -10 \), \( -12 - (-2) = -10 \), \( -22 - (-12) = -10 \)
   - Constant difference = -10. **This is an arithmetic sequence.**

3. **(c) 5, -10, 20, -40, ...**
   - Differences: \( -10 - 5 = -15 \), \( 20 - (-10) = 30 \), \( -40 - 20 = -60 \)
   - The differences are not constant. **Not an arithmetic sequence.**

4. **(d) 48, 24, 12, 6, ...**
   - Differences: \( 24 - 48 = -24 \), \( 12 - 24 = -12 \), \( 6 - 12 = -6 \)
   - The differences are not constant. **Not an arithmetic sequence.**

5. **(e) -½, 3, -12, 48, ...**
   - Differences: \( 3 - (-½) = 3.5 \), \( -12 - 3 = -15 \), \( 48 - (-12) = 60 \)
   - The differences are not constant. **Not an arithmetic sequence.**

6. **(f) √5, \(1 + √5\), \(2 + √5\), \(3 + √5\), ...**
   - Differences: \((1 + √5) - √5 = 1\), \((2 + √5) - (1 + √5) = 1\), \((3 + √5) - (2 + √5) = 1\)
   - Constant difference = 1. **This is an arithmetic sequence.**

7. **(g) \( \frac{1}{2}, \frac{1}{3}, \frac{1}{4}, \frac{1}{5}, ... \)**
   - Differences: \( \frac{1}{3} - \frac{1}{2} = -\frac{1}{6} \), \( \frac{1}{4} - \frac{1}{3} = -\frac{1}{12} \)
   - The differences are not constant. **Not an arithmetic sequence.**

8. **(h) \( \frac{3}{16}, \frac{3}{8}, \frac{3}{4}, \frac{3}{2}, ... \)**
   - Convert to the same denominator: \( \frac{3}{16}, \frac{6}{16}, \frac{12}{16}, \frac{24}{16} \)
   - Differences: \( \frac{6}{16} - \frac{3}{16} = \frac{3}{16} \), \( \frac{12}{16} - \frac{6}{16} = \frac{6}{16} \)
   - The differences are not constant. **Not an arithmetic sequence.**

9. **(i) \( a, ab, ab^2, ab^3, ... \)**
   - This appears to be a geometric sequence, not arithmetic. **Not an arithmetic sequence.**

10. **(j) \( a, a + k^2, a + 2k^2, a + 3k^2, ... \)**
    - Differences: \((a + k^2) - a = k^2\), \((a + 2k^2) - (a + k^2) = k^2\)
    - Constant difference = \( k^2 \). **This is an arithmetic sequence.**

### Conclusion:
The arithmetic sequences are:
- (a) 15, 18, 21, 24, ...
- (b) 8, -2, -12, -22, ...
- (f) √5, \(1 + √5\), \(2 + √5\), \(3 + √5\), ...
- (j) \( a, a + k^2, a + 2k^2, a + 3k^2, ... \)

### Tip:
To quickly check if a sequence is arithmetic, calculate the differences between consecutive terms. If they are all the same, it's an arithmetic sequence.
