1. **State the problem:**
Veronica has a bank account with an initial deposit of 200 and an annual interest rate of $m\%$ compounded annually. The amount after $t$ years is given by the expression $200(x)^t$. We need to find $x$ in terms of $m$.
2. **Recall the formula for compound interest:**
The amount $A$ after $t$ years with principal $P$ and annual interest rate $r$ (as a decimal) compounded annually is:
$$A = P(1 + r)^t$$
3. **Identify the variables:**
- Principal $P = 200$
- Interest rate $r = \frac{m}{100} = 0.01m$
- Amount after $t$ years $A = 200(x)^t$
4. **Match the given expression to the formula:**
Since $A = 200(x)^t$ and $A = 200(1 + r)^t$, it follows that:
$$x = 1 + r = 1 + 0.01m$$
5. **Conclusion:**
The value of $x$ in terms of $m$ is:
$$x = 1 + 0.01m$$
This corresponds to option A.
