It is $60,000 (C)

Explanation:

As at 2016:

Operating Profits = $800,000 - $600,000

=$200,000.

At at 2017

Operating Profit = (800,000+100,000) - (600,000+40,000)

=900,000-640,000

=$260,000

Increase in Operating Profit = $260,000 - $200,000.

=$60,000

This represents increase of [ (60,000/200,000) * 100% ] 30%
