first year the interest will be = 400*1.06=424
interest is 424-400=24
for second year it was compounded so =424*1.06=449.44
interest is 449.44-424=25.44
difference in interest got= 25.44-24=1.44
so 1.44 more interest
option D is correct
interest is 424-400=24
for second year it was compounded so =424*1.06=449.44
interest is 449.44-424=25.44

Piece of cake....
400 x 6%=24
Additional interest is 24x6%=1.44
400 x 6%=24
