D Correct answer
Explanation

Salaries: 200 + 250 + 300 + 350 = 1100. Average = 1100 / 4 = 275. Since values are in thousands, the average is 275,000.

AI explanation

Using the formula for calculating a simple average, we sum the salaries and divide by the total number of years. The total salary paid over the four years is 200 + 250 + 300 + 350 = 1100 thousand rupees. Dividing this sum by 4 gives an average of 275 thousand rupees per year. Since the values in the table are in thousands, the result is Rs. 2,75,000.
