C Correct answer
Explanation

Let CP of 1 table = x. Then CP of 15 tables = 15x, which equals SP of 20 tables. So SP of 1 table = 15x/20 = 3x/4. Loss per table = CP - SP = x - 3x/4 = x/4. Loss percent = (Loss/CP) × 100 = (x/4)/x × 100 = 25%. The key insight is that equalizing CP and SP across different quantities creates a gap between individual CP and SP.
