Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total cost for 4 months

Since the cost per month is $32$, for 4 months, we multiply the monthly - cost by the number of months. The formula is $Total\ cost=Monthly\ cost\times Number\ of\ months$. So, $32\times4 = 128$.

Step2: Check each table

We need to find the table where the total amount paid after 4 months is $128$.

• In table A: The amounts are not correct for a $32 - per - month$ plan.
• In table B: The amounts are not correct for a $32 - per - month$ plan.
• In table C: The amounts are not correct for a $32 - per - month$ plan.
• In table D: Month 1: $32$, Month 2: $32 + 32=64$, Month 3: $64 + 32 = 96$, Month 4: $96+32 = 128$.

Answer:

D
