Answer:

  A. 10 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

Marie's balance is initially $100 less, but she deposits $10 more per week than Oliver does. It will take her 100/10 = 10 weeks to catch up to Oliver's balance.

Oliver and Marie will have the same balance after 10 weeks.

__

Oliver's balance at that time will be 300 +10×10 = 400.

Marie's balance at that time will be 200 +10×20 = 400. (the same)
