D Correct answer
Explanation

The shopkeeper claims 22% loss, so selling price = 78% of cost price. But he weighs 30% less, meaning he gives only 70 units but charges for 100 units. So his actual cost is for 70 units, but he receives payment for 100 units at 78% of marked price. Effective cost = 70, effective selling = 78. Profit = 78 - 70 = 8. Profit% = 8/70 × 100 = 11.42%.
