To calculate the balance in the account after 2.5 years, you need to use the formula for compound interest:

A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt)

Where:
A = the future value of the investment
P = the principal amount (initial investment)
r = the annual interest rate (in decimal form)
n = the number of times that interest is compounded per year
t = the number of years

In this case, John invests $2,975 at an interest rate of 4% compounded annually, so:
P = $2,975
r = 4% = 0.04
n = 1 (compounded annually)
t = 2.5 years

Using the formula, we can calculate the future value:

A = $2,975 * (1 + 0.04/1)^(1*2.5)
A = $2,975 * (1 + 0.04)^(2.5)
A = $2,975 * (1.04)^(2.5)
A ≈ $3,281.48

Therefore, the correct answer is $3,281.48.
