Answer:

Option D

The Answer is $2,247

Explanation:

Alan invested the money in a savings account which increases 6% annually.

First Year

2000 × 6 ÷ 100 = $120

Now,

2000 + 120 = $2120

Second Year

2120 × 6 ÷ 100 = $127

Now,

2120 + 127 = $2247

Thus, Alan's investment worth after two years is $2247
