We can use the formula for compound interest:

$$A=P\left(1+\frac{r}{n}\right)^{nt}$$

where $A$ is the amount, $P$ is the principal, $r$ is the annual interest rate (as a decimal), $n$ is the number of times the interest is compounded per year, and $t$ is the time in years.

Plugging in the values given, we get:

$$A = 1000\left(1+\frac{0.06}{4}\right)^{(4)(2)}\approx 1126.49$$

Therefore, the best choice is (C).
