D Correct answer
Explanation

Let marked price be M. At 5% discount, profit = some amount. At 7% discount, profit reduces by Rs. 15. The difference in discount is 2% of marked price, which equals Rs. 15. So 0.02M = 15, M = 15/0.02 = Rs. 750. The profit at each discount level is not given, but the key insight is that the 2% difference in discount causes Rs. 15 difference in profit.
