I feel like it might be three months, but that seems too short. The interest rate is definitely something I need to double-check.

Okay, let me think this through. The key information I need to identify is the time period for paying the inheritance tax and the interest rate if it's overdue. I'll carefully read through the options to find the right combination.

I think the answer is D) Three months, 3% p.a. because a shorter period to pay should have a lower interest rate to be fair.
