The correct answer is:
A.P.
$\Delta=\frac{1}{2} p_1 a=\frac{1}{2} p_2 b=\frac{1}{2} p_3 b$
$p_1, p_2, p_3$ are in H.P.
$\Rightarrow \frac{2 \Delta}{a}, \frac{2 \Delta}{b}, \frac{2 \Delta}{c}$ are in H.P.
$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{a}, \frac{1}{b}, \frac{1}{c}$ are in H.P
$\Rightarrow a, b, c$ are in A.P.
$\Rightarrow \sin A, \sin B, \sin C$ are in A.P.
