D Correct answer
Explanation

If the discount is 26 percent, the selling price is 74 percent of the marked price. Marked price = 444 / 0.74 = 600.

AI explanation

Using the marked price formula, Selling Price = Marked Price * (100% - Discount%), we have 444 = Marked Price * (100% - 26%). This simplifies to 444 = Marked Price * 0.74, so dividing 444 by 0.74 gives a marked price of Rs 600.
