If a grocery shopper received $0.25 off the original price of a certain product by using a coupon, what was the original price of the product?

(1) The shopper received a 20 percent discount by using the coupon.
(2) The original price was 25 percent higher than the price the shopper paid by using the coupon.

IMO:C

I think D is the correct choice..as both A) and B) are sufficient!!
