Interest rate is 12% per year compounded 2 times a year. It means Annual percentage rate or nominal rate (r) is 12%

number of compounding in year (m) =2

it means it is semiannual compounded as there is 2 semiannual period in a year

Effective rate per semiannual period = nominal rate/number of semianual period in year

or r/m

=12%/2

=6%

So answer is C 6.000%
