C Correct answer
Explanation

Working backwards: After giving 75% to charity, 261 remain. So 261 = 25% of good mangoes. Good mangoes = 261/0.25 = 1044. These 1044 represent the 87% that are good (100% - 13% bad). Total mangoes = 1044/0.87 = 1200. Verification: 13% of 1200 = 156 bad, 1044 good. 75% of 1044 = 783 to charity, leaving 261.
