    The correct option is 2

    Explanation:

    Let us assume the current value of the investment be x

    And the annual growth factor of the investment is 1.2

    1. The investment value has increased or risen by 44% since it was first made

    It is known that the combined growth factor of the investment is 1.44 and no information is stated regarding the actual ($) values. Therefore, the unique value could not be computed.

    So, this statement lacks information and insufficient to solve for x.

    2. 1 year ago, the withdrawn money worth is $600 and at present the worth of the investment would be 12% less than the actual worth.

    1 year ago, the value of the investment was x / 1.2. So, the equation could be set up regarding the withdrawal.

    The equation would be:

    = (x / 1.2 - 600) * (1.2)

    =0.88x

    Therefore, the unique value to could be answered and the sufficient to answer.

    NOTE: The options are missing. So I am providing the answer with the options.
