B Correct answer
Explanation

Cost = 95 dozen * Rs 4.50/dozen = Rs 427.50 (or 95 * 12 * 4.50 = 5130 oranges? Wait - Rs 4.50 each means 4.50 per orange, not per dozen). Cost = 95 * 12 * 4.50 = Rs 5130. Usable oranges = 88 dozen = 1056 oranges. Revenue = 88 * 78 = Rs 6864. Profit = 6864 - 5130 = Rs 1734. Profit % = 1734/5130 * 100 = 33.8% ≈ 34%. Option B is correct.
