C Correct answer
Explanation

The selling price is calculated by subtracting the discount from the marked price. 17% of 4300 is 0.17 * 4300 = 731. Subtracting this from 4300 gives 4300 - 731 = 3569.

AI explanation

Using the discount formula, the selling price equals the marked price multiplied by (1 - discount percentage/100). Substituting the values gives 4300*(1 - 0.17), which is 4300*0.83. Calculating this results in 3569, giving a result of 3,569.
