The correct answer is A because the future value of the deposit is calculated using the formula FV = PV * (1 + r/n)^(nt), where PV is the present value, r is the nominal interest rate, n is the number of times per year that the interest is compounded, and t is the number of years. In this case, PV = $8,000, r = 4.0%, n = 4, and t = 3. So, FV = $8,000 * (1 + 0.04/4)^(4*3) = $22,233.41.
