Plz help me solve this problem from GMAT Prep:

For every integer 'k' from 1 to 10, inclusive, the kth term of a certain sequence is given by (-1)^(k+1) * (1/2^k). If 'T' is the sum of first 10 terms in the sequence, then 'T' is:-

(a) Greater than 2
(b) Between 1 & 2
(c) Between 1/4 & 1
(d) Between 1/4 & 1/2
