    D) $2693.12

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The account balance is multiplied by 1.09 each year, so at the end of 5 years, it has been multiplied by 1.53862395 ...

    After subtracting the initial deposit amount, the remainder is the interest earned:

    ... $5000 * (1.53862395 - 1) = $5000*0.53862395 ≈ $2693.12
