Answer: Option D

Explanation: Annuity due refers to the chain of equal payments that is made at the end of a period usually one year. The payments do not increase over time.

While in case of ordinary annuity the payment is done at the end of the period and do not rise with the passage of time.

Hence from the above we can conclude that the correct option is D.
