C Correct answer
Explanation

If 1200 km is 2/5 of the total trip, the total trip distance is $1200 \times (5/2) = 3000$ km. The distance traveled by car is one-third of the total trip, which is $3000 / 3 = 1000$ km. The remaining distance traveled by train is $3000 - 1200 - 1000 = 800$ km, making 800Km the correct choice.
