C Correct answer
Explanation

Let cost price = 100. Marked price = 140 (40% above cost). Selling price after 25% discount = 140 × 0.75 = 105. Profit = 105 - 100 = 5, which is 5% of cost price. Alternatively: Profit% = (markup% - discount% - markup%×discount%/100) = (40 - 25 - 40×25/100)% = (15 - 10)% = 5%.
