D.

Explanation:

This is function multiplication notation, as #(p*c)(2)= p(2)*c(2)#

Let's determine that:
#p(2)= 100-2(2)= 96#
#c(2)= 50+5(2)= 60#

#p(2)*c(2)= 96*50= 5760#

Now as #c(x)# is supposed to represent the number of #5# dollar increases, as they are charge over #50# a person, helps us determine that the cost person is #60# dollars in this case, as the #5# dollar increase happened twice
