    D. $81.

    Explanation:

    We know that,

    Contribution margin per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable expense per unit

    For Q-Drive, it would be

    = $210 - $150

    = $60

    For Q-Drive Plus, it would be

    = $270 - $180

    = $90

    Now the weighted contribution margin would be

    = Q-Drive contribution margin * sales mix + Q-Drive Plus contribution margin * sales mix

    = $60 * 30% + $90 * 70%

    = $18 + $63

    = $81
