I've started loving this math series EMPOWERgmatRichC 
To find the maximum amount of a particular investment, we need to consider minimum investment for the other 14 investments.
Let 14 investments with minimum deposit i.e. $1400*14 = $19,600.
So remaining amount for the last item investment is $23500-$19600 = $3900
Thus correct option (E)

To maximize 1 investment you need to minimize the other 14 investments.
Thus the minimum value of the 14 investments = 14*1400 = 19600
Thus the maximized 15th investment = 23500-19600 = 3900 $
E is the correct answer.
