D15200
Correct answer: (B) 13262
Explanation
The total number of type C items is 13262, so the answer is 13262.
In 2020 the company made 48600 items in all.
Type C was 17 percent of these, which is 8262.
In 2021 the company made 62500 items in all.
Type C was 8 percent of these, which is 5000.
So the two years together give 8262 plus 5000.
That equals 13262, so the answer is 13262.
