We are given that the terms of payment for the invoice are:


(6)/(10),(4)/(15),(n)/(30)

This means that the net payment will have a 6% discount within the first 10 days, 4% during the first 15 days, and must be the total amount within the 30 days.

Since the payment will be within the first 15 days, the cash discount is 4%. The answer is then "None of the choices are correct".
