The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

The second blank is paired with "or annual," so it needs another payout frequency, and "monthly" sits in the same set as annual. The person who chooses how often to receive interest is the account holder, the customer.

  • customer ... monthly is correct because "monthly or annual" are matching frequencies, and the customer decides the payout schedule.
  • investor ... cumulative is wrong because "cumulative" describes interest that accrues to maturity, not a frequency that parallels "annual."
  • officer ... seasonal is wrong because interest is not paid "seasonally" and an officer does not set a depositor's option.
  • bank ... occasional is wrong because "occasional" is not a regular payout term and does not parallel annual.

The correct word-pair is customer and monthly.
