Option C seems like the way to go. I mean, who keeps track of all these thresholds anyway? The bank should just log everything to be safe. *laughs*

The correct answer is C. The total of the transactions exceeds the $3,000 threshold, so the bank should record the $1,000, $2,500, and $9,000 transactions on the monetary instrument sales log.
