    D. $ 98,976.71

    Explanation:

    The formula for the future worth of the a present amount at compounding interest rate is given as:

    FV = PV (1+r/n) ^nt

    where, (taking the age of 25 as present time and 50 years as future)

    FV = Future Value = ?

    PV = Present Value = $ 20,000

    r = interest rate = 6.5% = 0.065

    n = no. of periods within an year = 2

    t = total no. of years passed = 50 - 25 = 25 years

    Therefore,

    FV = ($ 20,000) (1 + 0.065/2) ^ (2) (25)

    FV = $ 98,976.71

    Thus the correct answer is D. $ 98,976.71
