Two things should be noticed

(1) The interest amount is asked
(2) We have to calculate simple interest

Well, the easiet method would be to pick numbers

Lets say x=10 and n=2

Interest for one year would be 10000*10%=1000

Interest for two years(n) would be 2000

Now substitute the values of x and n in the answer choices to find out which one gives 2000 as the answer

Choice C would give the answer as 2000

You've answered D probably misreading "Compound Interest" to "Simple Interest".

The answer is surely C.
