Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation

Calculate the gross profit using the gross profit mark-up percentage:
Gross Profit = Sales Amount * (Gross Profit Mark-up Percentage / 100)
Gross Profit = D12,000 * (25 / 100)
Gross Profit = D12,000 * 0.25
Gross Profit = D3,000

Calculate the cost of sales by subtracting the gross profit from the sales amount:
Cost of Sales = Sales Amount - Gross Profit
Cost of Sales = D12,000 - D3,000
Cost of Sales = D9,000

Therefore, the cost of sales is D9,000.
