    Fran should choose that which compounds quarterly

    Explanation:

    In Compound Interest investment, the interest at the end of the compounding period is added to form a new base capital.

    If this is done every 3 months, the principal at the beginning of each quarter increases while in annual compounding, the interest is added at the end of the year.

    Generally, for investment, the more frequent is it compounded the better. On the other hand, less frequent compounding is preferred for borrowers.
