B Correct answer
Explanation

Let marked price be M. Selling price with 8% discount is 0.92M = 17940, so M = 19500. With 19.6% profit, cost price = 17940/1.196 = 15000. Without discount, selling price = 19500. Profit would be (19500 - 15000)/15000 = 30%. Option B is correct. Options A, C, D are miscalculations from incorrect cost price or profit percentage formulas.
