D Correct answer
Explanation

With 10% discount, SP = 560 × 0.9 = Rs. 504. Since gain is 5%, CP = 504/1.05 = Rs. 480. Without discount, SP = Rs. 560, so gain = 560 - 480 = Rs. 80. Gain percent = (80/480) × 100 = 16.67%. Option D is correct. Option A (9%) would require CP around Rs. 514, and Option B (13.5%) is too low.
