The multiple choices are as follows:

Group of answer choices:

A. Present Value

B. Future Value

C. Discounted Value

D. Annuity

E. Lump Sum

The correct option is C, discounted value

Explanation:

The worth of the cash flow which is $1,000 is given with reference to the worth in 5 years' terms, hence restating the cash flow to its worth in two years' time is discounting to its two years' worth.

The answer cannot be present value since the cash flow is not being discounted to today's equivalent amount.

Also, future value is not correct since future value of $1,000 is already provided in the question
