The correct answer is b).

For any An>0, An/(1+i)n
<An. This means it will take usually more time to recover the initial
investment in discounted payback period. But the two periods can be equal. For example, if
A0=-1,000 and A1=2,000 and i=10%, then both the payback period and discounted payback
period is 1.
