1. Suppose I deposit a lump sum of money into an account that pays 5% per annum after all taxes and fees. Suppose I leave it invested there for a very long time (e.g., 65 years or more). If I look at the final balance in the account after this long time period, which one of the following would make up the largest percentage of the final balance?

Options :

A.The principal.

B.The accumulated simple interest.

C.The accumulated compound interest.

D.The accumulated interest on the interest.
