This is a bit tricky since the given sequence seems to be a random mix of letters and numbers. However, we can assume that the sequence is made up of a combination of letters and numbers with underscores separating them. 
Looking at the answer choices, only choice D starts with the number 1 and has a pattern of subtracting 7 each time to get the next term. Therefore, the correct answer is D)1, -6, -13, -20, -27.
