Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Here we simply need to calculate that bonus is what percent of salary.
We will just sum all bonus and salary to get the percentage as below,

\begin{aligned}
\left(\frac{3.00 + 2.52 + 3.84 + 3.68 + 3.96}{288 + 342 + 324 + 336 + 420}*100\right)\% \\
= \left(\frac{17}{1710}*100\right)\% \\
= 1\% \text{approx.}
\end{aligned}
