Explanation:

Step1: Analyze balance of $0

A balance of $0 means Maria has no money in her account and doesn't owe the bank either. This is a correct interpretation.

A negative balance of -$10 means Maria owes the bank $10, not that she has $10 in her account. This statement is incorrect.

At the beginning of the month, her balance was $50. A balance of $0 is not the same as the starting - balance. This statement is incorrect.

Step4: Analyze balance of $100

Starting with $50, a balance of $100 means $100 - 50=50$, so the amount in her account has increased by $50. This statement is correct.

Step5: Analyze balance of -$25

A negative balance of -$25 means she owes the bank $25, not that she has $25 more than when she started. This statement is incorrect.

Answer:

A. A balance of $0 means Maria has neither a positive amount of money nor owes any money to the bank in her account.
D. A balance of $100 means the amount in Maria's account has increased by $50 from the beginning of the month.
