If the $(m + 1)^{th}$,$(n + 1)^{th}$,and $(r + 1)^{th}$ terms of an arithmetic progression are in geometric progression,and $m, n, r$ are in harmonic progression,then what is the ratio of the common difference to the first term of the arithmetic progression?

  • A
    $\frac{n}{2}$
  • B
    $\frac{2}{n}$
  • C
    $-\frac{n}{2}$
  • D
    $-\frac{2}{n}$
