    D : 2.17%.

    Explanation:

    The 26% is an APR (Annual Percentage Rate). This is a quoted rate that a credit card company charges. It is also known as the nominal rate.

    Since the question is asking for a monthly rate, use the 26% and convert it into monthly rate. We have 12 months in a year; meaning, we will divide the nominal rate by 12;

    Monthly rate = APR / n

    APR = 26% or 0.26 as a decimal

    n = compounding periods = 12

    therefore, Monthly rate = 26% / 12 = 2.17%
