The combination with the least commission is [D]

1. Combination [A]
4000 = 117
1000 = 33
1000 = 33
1000 = 33
Total commission = 117 + 33 + 33 + 33
= 216

2. Combination [ B]
3000 = 69
3000 = 69
1000 = 33
Total commission = 69 + 69 +33 = 171

3. Combination [C]
4000 = 117
3000 = 69
Total commission = 117 + 69 = 186

4. Combination [ D]
2000 = 36
2000 = 36
2000= 36
1000 = 33
Total commission=36 + 36 + 36 + 33
= 141
