Start: $252.00

Monday: 252.00 − 114.60 + 150.00 = 287.40
Tuesday: 287.40 − 79.68 = 207.72
Wednesday: 207.72 − 161.39 = 46.33
Thursday: 46.33 − 57.40 = −11.07 ← overdraft here
Friday: (would be) −11.07 − 22.85 + 75.00 = 41.08
Saturday: 41.08 − 140.55 = −99.47

She first gets charged an overdraft fee on Thursday. Answer: b.
