E Correct answer
Explanation

Let CP = 100. Marked price = 130 (30% profit). After 10% discount, SP = 130 × 0.9 = 117. Profit = 117 - 100 = 17. Actual profit = 17%, not 18% (option A), 15% (B), or 20% (C). Since the exact answer 17% isn't listed and the problem is solvable, option D is wrong. The correct answer is 'None of these' (option E).
