C Correct answer
Explanation

Let Eswar's salary = 100. Then Ram's salary = 105 (5% more). Eswar's salary relative to Ram = 100/105 ≈ 95.24%. Therefore Eswar's salary is 100 - 95.24 = 4.76% less than Ram's. Converting 0.76 to fraction: 0.76 = 76/100 = 19/25. Option C shows 4(16/21)% = 4.76%, which matches.
