E) not changed either M1 or M2.

Explanation:

M1 includes bills and coins in circulation, checking accounts, travelers' checks and other checkable deposits.

M2 includes M1 + savings accounts, certificates of deposits and money market funds.

Since Susan received $200 in cash (included in M1) and deposited the money in her checking account (also included in M1), neither M1 nor M2 is modified.
