The correct answer is option 1 i.e. D.

Profit percentage of Company A = [(148 - 122)/122] × 100 = (26/122) × 100 ≈ 21.31%

Profit Percentage of Company B = [(166 - 135)/135] × 100 = (31/135) × 100 ≈ 22.96%

Profit Percentage of Company C = [(240 - 186)/186] × 100 = (54/186) × 100 ≈ 29.03%

Profit Percentage of Company D = [(220 - 170)/170) × 100 = (50/170) × 100 ≈ 29.41% [Highest]

Profit Percentage of Company E = [(188 - 166)/166] × 100 = (22/166) × 100 ≈ 13.25%

Therefore, the highest profit percentage is for Company D.
