Answer: C
During the first two years, the drift per year is 3 and so the total drift is 3×2 or 6. During the next three years, the drift per year is 6 and the total drift is 6×3 = 18. The total drift over the five years is 6+18 =24. Given that the variable starts at zero, its expected value at the end of the five years is therefore 24.
