B Correct answer
Explanation

75% of 2000 kg = 0.75 x 2000 = 1500 kg. The question directly states that 75% of products were sold at a loss, and total sales were 2000 kg. Therefore, the quantity sold at loss is 75% of the total quantity.

AI explanation

The correct answer is 1500 kg. Since the shopkeeper sells 75% of his total 2000 kg of product at a loss, the quantity sold at a loss is 75% × 2000 = 1500 kg, which is one of the given options — so 'none' is wrong.
