    B. 9.6 %.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    A = P e^rt

    His investment doubles so it comes to 3000 * 2 = $6000.

    Substituting in the formula>

    6000 = 3000e^7.2r ehere r is the interest rate.

    e^7.2r = 2

    Taking logs

    7.2r = ln 2

    r = ln2 / 7.2

    r = 0.096

    So the rate is 9.6%.
