Correct option :


\color{plum}\tt\bold{(b) \: \$3480 }

Steps to derive correct option :

Money Maria borrowed = $3000

Percentage of simple interest per annum = 4%

Time she took to repay the money she borrowed = 4 years

We know that :


\color{hotpink}\tt \: Simple \: interest = \color{plum}(principal * rate * time)/(100)

In this case :

Principal = $3000

Rate = 4%

Time = 4 years

Which means. the simple interest :


= \tt (3000 * 4 * 4)/(100)


= \tt (48000)/(100)


\color{plum} =\tt\$ 480

Thus, the interest she has to pay = $480

We know that :


\color{hotpink}\tt \: Amount \color{plum}= principal + interest

Then, the Amount Maria has to pay :


=\tt 3000 + 480


\color{plum} =\tt \$3480

Thus, the amount Maria has to repay after 4 years = $3480

Therefore, the correct option is (b) $3480
