D Correct answer
Explanation

Marked price per article is Rs. 100. Three articles sold for Rs. 274.50, so selling price per article = 274.50/3 = Rs. 91.50. Discount per article = 100 - 91.50 = Rs. 8.50. Discount percentage = (8.50/100) × 100 = 8.5%. The other options (7%, 7.5%, 8%) don't match this calculation.
