The question is asked like that, however if you have a multiply choice question the answer is None Of These!
Take 50,000 x .08 x 112/365 = 1,227.40 which is not a answer provided!

Count the number of days.
interest = 50000(.08)(number of days/365)
5216.44
The formula for this is I = PRT
I = interest
P = principal
R = rate
T = time in years
50000(.08)(111/365) = $1216.44
However, it looks like your question has an error and should say July 8, 2007 instead of July 8, 2006.
When you account for this error:
50000(.08)(476/365) = $5,216.438 -> $5216.44 (rounded).
