D Correct answer
Explanation

Let CP = x. Original SP = 1.3x (30% profit). New CP = x - 100, new SP = 1.3x - 100. New profit = 34%, so (1.3x - 100) = 1.34(x - 100). Solving: 1.3x - 100 = 1.34x - 134, which gives 0.04x = 34, so x = 850. Verifying: Original: CP=850, SP=1105, profit=255 (30%). New: CP=750, SP=1005, profit=255 (34%).
