D Correct answer
Explanation

In a partnership, profit is distributed in proportion to investment. Total investment = 3800 + 2400 + 3400 = 9600. C's share = (C's investment / Total investment) × Total profit = (3400 / 9600) × 1584. Simplifying: (3400 / 9600) = 34/96 = 17/48. So C's profit = (17/48) × 1584 = 17 × 33 = 561.
