D Correct answer
Explanation

This SAS data step processes 3 observations. For each observation, the DO loop runs 3 times (year=1 to 3), adding 5000 to capital each iteration. Total: 3 observations × 3 iterations × 5000 = 45000. The year variable ends at 4 after the loop completes its final iteration.
