D Correct answer
Explanation

Selling price after 8% discount = Rs 18,400. Let marked price be M. Then M - 0.08M = 18,400, so 0.92M = 18,400. Therefore M = 18,400 ÷ 0.92 = Rs 20,000. Option A incorrectly adds 8% to 18,400 directly, option B uses wrong base, and option C miscalculates the discount amount.
