    C) Projects A, C and D.

    Explanation:

    project A = 12 percent ≥ 8.5% project B = 7 percent ≤ 8.5% project C = 10 percent ≥ 8.5% project D = 9 percent ≥ 8.5% project E = 8 percent ≤ 8.5%

    If you are going to evaluate which projects to invest in based on their expected returns, then you should choose only those ones that have expected returns higher than 8.5% which is your discount rate. Projects with expected returns lower than 8.5% must be rejected.
