For the following telescoping series, find a formula for the nth term of the sequence of partial sums ($S_n$). Then evaluate $\lim_{n \to \infty} S_n$ to obtain the value of the series or state that the series diverges.\\ $\sum_{k=1}^{\infty} \frac{4}{(4k-1)(4k+3)}$ $S_n = \boxed{} Select the correct choice and fill in any answer boxes in your choice below. A. $\sum_{k=1}^{\infty} \frac{4}{(4k-1)(4k+3)} = \boxed{}$ (Simplify your answer.) B. The series diverges.
