A: f(x)=(293*1.06)^x;930
B: f(x)=293(0.06)^x;379
C: f(x)=293 (1.06)^x;370
D: f(x)=293(6)^x;190

well it uses the compound interest formula 

$$F(x) = P_{0}(1 + \frac{r}{100})^x$$

so in your question 

x = time in years for the initial formula  

$$P_{0} = 293,.... r = 6% ...and... $$

then you need to substitute x = 4

simplify the brackets and you should get the answer.
