C Correct answer
Explanation

Let CP = 100. A 12% loss means SP = 88. Since a 20% discount is given on MP, we have SP = 0.8 × MP. So 0.8 × MP = 88, which gives MP = 110. Therefore, MP is 10% above CP. Alternatively, if selling at 12% loss after 20% discount, then MP/CP = (100 - 12)/(100 - 20) = 88/80 = 1.10, so MP is 10% above CP.
