B Correct answer
Explanation

Calculate investment ratios: A invests 10000 for 4 months, then 7000 for 8 months = 96000. B invests 10000 for 4 months, then 6000 for 8 months = 88000. C invests 10000 for 8 months, then adds 3000 for remaining 4 months = 10000×8 + 13000×4 = 132000. Total ratio units = 304000. C's share = (132000/304000) × 32800 = Rs. 14400. Option B is correct.
