2% of 12,560 would give you 251.2 and 251.2 X 4 = 1004.8 so your answer is B

Meredith borrow 12,560 so if you do some basic calculations, %2 of that is 251.20 dollars of interest per year

The total amount of interest she will pay for 4 years (251.20 x 4) is 1004.80 dollars for 4 years.

your welcome :)
