The given sequence is: c-bbb-abbbb-abbb - --. Let’s analyze the pattern: 
 - The first term has 1 letter 'c'. 
 - The second term has 3 'b's. 
 - The third term starts with 'a' and has 4 'b's. 
 - The fourth term starts with 'a' and has 3 'b's. 
 By examining the pattern, we notice that each term alternates between 'a' and 'b', with an increasing or decreasing number of 'b's. After the fourth term, following the pattern, the next term should have 1 'a' and 2 'b's, followed by 1 'c', resulting in "abacb".
