C Correct answer
Explanation

Let labelled price = 100. Bought at 20% discount = 80. Sold at 10% loss on cost = 80 × 0.9 = 72. Loss = 80 - 72 = 8 on labelled price 100, which is 8%. If bought at labelled price (100) and sold at 72, loss = 100 - 72 = 28, which is 28% of labelled price. This is the percentage loss when bought at labelled price.
