If you treat the bank loan as simple interest (total interest = principal × rate × years):

Total owed = 30,000 + 30,000(0.06)(5) = 39,000
Monthly payment = 39,000 ÷ (5×12) = 39,000 ÷ 60 = $650

(If it were a standard amortized loan at 6% APR with monthly compounding, the monthly payment would be about $579.16 — but from the given choices the correct pick is $650.)
