Interest = Principle × ( 1 + Interest rate )ⁿ  - 1

Here,

n is the number of compounding period

and, the interest varies with the number of periods

Now,

For Annual compounding

Number of compounding period in a year will be 1

For  Semi-annual compounding

Number of compounding period in a year will be 2

For Monthly compounding

Number of compounding period in a year will be 12

For Daily compounding

Number of compounding period in a year will be 365

Therefore,

For annual compounding the interest will be least.
