Answer: D

Solution:

Since the annual interest rate is 16%, the quarterly interest rate is 4%. Therefore, the investment will earn 62,500 x 0.04 = $2,500 for the first quarter (i.e., first 3 months) and (62,500 + 2,500) x 0.04 = 65,000 x 0.4 = $2,600 for the second quarter (i.e, next 3 months). Therefore, in the first 6 months,the investment earns 2,500 + 2,600 = $5,100 in interest.

Answer: D
