To solve this problem, we need to keep track of Mrs. Lopez's account balance and calculate any changes made to it.

Step 1: Mrs. Lopez's account balance on March 1 is $9,118.

Step 2: In March, she saves $609, so her account balance at the end of March is: 9,118 + 609 = $9,727.

Step 3: Mrs. Lopez then pays $1,011 in taxes in April, so her account balance at the end of April is: 9,727 - 1,011 = $8,716.

Step 4: In May, she saves $705, so her account balance at the end of May is: 8,716 + 705 = $9,421.

Step 5: Now, we need to compare her account balance on May 31 to her account balance on March 17. To do that, we need to determine her account balance on March 17.

Step 6: Assuming that her account balance grows linearly, we can calculate the daily increase in her account balance by dividing the total increase from March 1 to May 31 ($9,421 - $9,118 = $303) by the number of days in this period (31 + 30 + 31 = 92). The daily increase is approximately $3.293.

Step 7: To find her account balance on March 17, we need to determine the number of days between March 1 and March 17 (17). Multiplying this by the daily increase gives us: $3.293 * 17 = $55.951.

Step 8: Adding the calculated increase to Mrs. Lopez's account balance on March 1, we get her account balance on March 17: $9,118 + $55.951 = $9,173.951.

Step 9: Now we compare her account balance on May 31 ($9,421) to her account balance on March 17 ($9,173.951).

The difference between these two values is: $9,421 - $9,173.951 = $247.049.

So, the correct answer is:

A. Her account balance is approximately $300 greater (since $247.049 is close to $300).
