D

Explanation:

The internal rate of return (IRR) on a proposed investment is the discount rate that makes the net present value of the investment is equal to zero.

But in this aspect, considering the internal rate of return, the net present value of the investment will not be equal to zero, and will be at the rate of 5.72%, and will result at loss when invested, in the next five years. Therefore, the best decision is not to invest.
