Step-by-step Answer::

"Each month, the balance in the account increases by 0.25%"

means F (n) = F (n-1) * 1.0025

"Elaine deposited $50 into a bank account."

means F (0) = 50

So a recursive definition is

F (n) = F (n-1) * 1.0025 for n=1,2,3,4 ... and F (0) = 50

Symbols used in the actual answer choices may differ, but with the same principle.
