A Correct answer
Explanation

Principal = 3072, Rate = 6.25% = 1/16. Time = 2 years 8 months = 2 + 8/12 = 2 + 2/3 years. CI for 2 years = 3072 * [(1 + 1/16)² - 1] = 3072 * [(17/16)² - 1] = 3072 * [289/256 - 1] = 3072 * 33/256 = 396. For remaining 8 months = 2/3 years: CI = (3072 + 396) * (1/16) * (2/3) = 3468/24 = 144.5. Total CI = 396 + 144.5 = 540.5.
