B Correct answer
Explanation

Let L be the labelled price. (B) gives 0.95L = 608, so L = 640. (A) and (C) together: CP=500, Profit=28% means SP=640. If no discount, SP=L=640. Both paths yield the same result.

AI explanation

Statement B directly provides the selling price of Rs. 608 after a 5% discount, so the labelled price is Rs. 608 / 0.95 = Rs. 640. Statements A and C together can also find the labelled price; the cost price is Rs. 500 and a 28% profit with no discount means the selling price equals the labelled price, which is Rs. 500 * 1.28 = Rs. 640. Thus, either A and C together or only B is sufficient to answer the question. The correct option is either A and C together or only B is sufficient.
