To calculate the amount of interest earned, we can use the formula for simple interest:

Interest = Principal (initial amount) * Rate * Time

In this case, the principal is $400, the rate is 6%, and the time is 5 years.

Interest = $400 * 0.06 * 5 = $120

Therefore, the interest earned in 5 years is $120.

The correct answer is D) $120.
