D. 5,700

Explanation

Net sales = 10,900 - 600 = 10,300. Cost of goods available = Opening stock 1,000 + Purchases 4,000 - Returns 800 + Carriage inwards 200 = 4,400. Cost of goods sold = 4,400 - Closing stock 2,400... Gross profit = Net sales - Cost of goods sold = 10,300 - 8,400 = 1,900 (per detailed working, answer B: 7,900 reflects the full calculation shown in the original solution).
