D Correct answer
Explanation

Total cost = Fixed cost + Variable cost. At 0 units, TC = 100, so Fixed cost = 100. At 20 units, TC = 290. Variable cost = 290 - 100 = 190.

AI explanation

Variable cost is calculated by subtracting the fixed cost from the total cost. From the table at zero output, the fixed cost is Rs 100. At 20 units of output, the total cost is Rs 290, so the variable cost is 290 minus 100 = 190. The result is 190.
