C Correct answer
Explanation

Profit per article = Selling price - Cost price = 765 - 632 = Rs. 133. Total profit = Rs. 1596. Number of articles = Total profit / Profit per article = 1596/133 = 12. We need all three values: total profit (I), cost price (II), and selling price (III) to calculate the profit per article and then divide into total profit. Any two alone are insufficient.
