    D $4 million

    Explanation:

    Bank Reserves = Bank's Deposit at Central Bank + Vault Cash.

    Bank Reserves = $15million + $5million = $20 million

    Required reserves = 20% of $80 million = $16 million.

    Bank Reserves = Required Reserves + Excess Reserves

    Excess Reserves = Bank reserves - Required reserves

    Excess Reserves = $20million - $16million = $4 million
