D) Cash for $4,680 and credit Interest Revenue for $4,680.

Explanation:

The Journal entry with their narrations and explanation is here shown below:-

Cash Dr, $4,680

To Interest revenue $4,680

(Being receipt of interest payment is recorded)

Therefore for recording this entry here we debited the cash as it is received and we credited the interest revenue as it is decreasing.
