    The answer is c. $10,125.

    Explanation:

    interest rate = 9%

    loan amount = 450000

    time = 0.25years

    Interest charge = 450000 * 0.25 * 0.09 = $10,125.

    The interest charge will be $10,125 because the loan was taken in October and the financial year ends in December, which makes it 3 months which is 0.25 years.
