Explanation

Here's a brief explanation: 1. Calculate the number of units fit for sale per day: Total production per day = 1000 units. Unfit units = 5% of 1000 = (5/100) * 1000 = 50 units. Units fit for sale per day = 1000 - 50 = 950 units. 2. Calculate the number of days to complete the order: Total order quantity = 19000 units. Days needed = Total order quantity / Units fit for sale per day Days needed = 19000 / 950 = 20 days. Therefore, the order will be completed in 20 days. Option C is correct because the calculation shows 20 days are required. Options A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not result from the correct calculation of usable production and total order quantity.
