Explanation:

Option1 - C

Total investment = Investment * Time of Investment
Calculation:
A's total investment = 2 x 6 = 12 unit
B's total investment = 3 x 5 = 15 unit
C's total investment = 4 x 4 = 16 unit
D's total investment = 5 x 3 = 15 unit
E's total investment = 6 x 2 = 12 unit
C has the highest total investment, which is 16 unit.
Since, the profit is directly proportional to the total investment.
Therefore, C would receive the highest amount of profit.
