1 dollars comma 200
B
600 dollars
C
2 dollars comma 400
D
300 dollars

Explanation

A 4% annual interest rate on $15,000 gives $15,000 × 0.04 = $600 in one year. Since interest is paid semiannually, you receive $300 each half-year, for a total of $600 over two payments. The correct choice is 600 dollars.
