    - 7.92%

    Explanation:

    The computation of the annualized rate of return is shown below:

    But before that we have to compute the following calculations

    Invested amount at that time

    = $9,708.74 * $1.420

    = 13786.41

    Maturity amount at that time

    = $10,000 * 1.324

    = $13,240

    Since these values are 6 months ago, so the rate of return is

    = (13,240 - 13,786.41) : 13,786.41 * 100

    = - 3.96 %

    So, Annualized rate of return is

    = - 3.96 * 2

    = - 7.92%

    This is the answer but the same is not provided in the given options
