C Correct answer
Explanation

Let CP = 100, Profit = 20, so SP = 120. Given profit = 4 × discount. Let discount = d, then 20 = 4d, so d = 5. This means MP - 5 = 120, so MP = 125. Therefore MP is 125% of CP. Option A (25%) is incorrect, B (120%) would mean MP = SP, and D (150%) doesn't satisfy the condition.
