C Correct answer
Explanation

Let C's initial investment be 45000 for 5 months, then 30000 for 7 months. B invests 32000 for 5 months, then (32000+x) for 7 months. Let C's initial investment be y for 5 months, then 1.25y for 7 months. The ratio 435:440:364 leads to y=28000 and x=8000 through weighted investment calculation.
