Ans:- we will first find the effective interest rate (EAR) of all the options and will choose the option which has the highest effective rate of interest. Higher is the EAR, higher will be the future value.

EAR = (1+r/n)^n-1, where r is the annual rate and n is the number of times compounding per year.

From the above analysis, option B has the highest EAR value, therefore it will give the highest future value of CD if invested for 3 year period.

Note:- If this answer helps you pls give thumbs up.
