B Correct answer
Explanation

Marked price = 8400. After 25% discount, price = 8400 * 0.75 = 6300. Final price = 5040. Second discount = (6300 - 5040) / 6300 = 1260 / 6300 = 0.20 or 20%.

AI explanation

After the first discount of 25%, the price becomes 75% of 8400, which equals 6300. The second discount brings the price down to 5040, meaning the price drops by 1260. The second discount percentage is (1260 divided by 6300) multiplied by 100, which is 20%.
