Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for effective annual interest rate is:

[tex]r=(1+\frac{i}{n})^{n}-1[/tex]

where

r is the effective annual interest rate

i is the stated interest rate (here, it is 1.55%, or 0.0155)

n is the number of compounding periods (here, compounded monthly, so it means 12 times a year, so n = 12)

plugging these info into the formula, we get:

[tex]r=(1+\frac{i}{n})^{n}-1\\r=(1+\frac{0.0155}{12})^{12}-1\\r=0.0156[/tex]

0.0156 * 100 = 1.56%
