Answer:

The correct option is C) Store B is reducing prices by 5% more than Store A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Store A reduces the prices on all merchandise by 15%.

From the above calculation, it is clear that store B reduces more prices by 5%.

Therefore, the correct option is C) Store B is reducing prices by 5% more than Store A.
