Notice that the difference between sale price and cost per unit is the profit per unit. So, we are asked to find which of the options cannot be the profit per unit.
Now, since the average daily profit was $5304, then the profit per week was $7*5304=7*(2^3*3*13*17).
We also know that these profit was generated from the sale of q units, thus q=(profit per week)/(profit per unit)=7*(2^3*3*13*17)/(profit per unit).
q=(# of units sold)=integer, thus from the options presented profit per unit cannot be 11 because in this case q won't be an integer.
Answer: D.

Thanks AKProdigy87 and I agree not a very good question Kostyan.
I respectfully disagree. It's a great question.
The key operator that everyone seems to have missed is the "average". The average profit of $5304 per day is equivalent to a total profit of $37128 for the whole week.
Therefore, the difference between sale price and cost per unit is equal to $37128, which is divisible by all of the answer choices, except for 11.
So, D is the answer.
