B
A = 1200e..9
C
A = 1200e10
D

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -It is calculated by multiplying the first principal amount by one and adding the annual interest rate raised to the number of compound periods subtract one. The total initial amount of your loan is then subtracted from the resulting value. P is principal, I is the interest rate, n is the number of compounding periods.

Detailed explanation-2: -Now Compound interest = A-P ⇒ Compound interest = Rs. 15972-Rs. 12000 = Rs. 3972.

Detailed explanation-3: -488.86. Hence, Compound interest would be Rs. 488.86.

Detailed explanation-4: -Compound interest, can be calculated using the formula FV = P*(1+R/N)^(N*T), where FV is the future value of the loan or investment, P is the initial principal amount, R is the annual interest rate, N represents the number of times interest is compounded per year, and T represents time in years.
