D Correct answer
Explanation

The selling price is 88 percent of the marked price (100 percent - 12 percent discount). If 0.88 * MP = 1452, then MP = 1452 / 0.88 = 1650.

AI explanation

The marked price minus the 12% discount equals the selling price, giving the equation Marked Price x 0.88 = 1452. Solving for the marked price, we divide 1452 by 0.88 to get Rs. 1650.
