The correct statement is A. The account balance will increase 4% each year.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's recall that 1.04 is the result of adding:

1 + 0.04 and, we can also write 0.04 as 4/100 or 4%,

in consequence,

1.04 = 1 + 4%, where we're increasing an additional 4%.

The correct statement is A. The account balance will increase 4% each year.
