    The correct option is D,$1,787,878.79

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The the formula to calculate the amount the insurance company must put into a bank account is by using the present value of a a stream of cash flow in perpetuity.

    By perpetuity I mean a particular amount that pays a sum of money forever.

    In this case, the amount required is meant to Earl's family $59,000 per year forever.

    pv=periodic payment/interest rate

    periodic payment is $59,000

    interest rate 3.3%

    pv=$59,000/3.3%=$1,787,878.79
