    Option (b) is correct.

    Explanation:

    Amount of loan taken from uncle = $20,000

    Uncle is used to earning Interest rate = 8%

    The minimum lump-sum payment two years from now would make your uncle happy is as follows:

    = Amount of Loan * (1 + Interest rate) ^ (Time period)

    = $20,000 * (1 + 0.08) ^ (2)

    = $20,000 * (1.08) ^2

    = $20,000 * 1.1664

    = $23,328
