First, we need to calculate the regular hours and overtime hours:

Regular hours = 40 hours x 2 weeks = 80 hours
Overtime hours = 88 hours - 80 hours = 8 hours

Next, we can calculate the regular pay and overtime pay:

Regular pay = 80 hours x $17 per hour = $1,360
Overtime pay = 8 hours x ($17 x 1.5) per hour = $204

Then, we can calculate the gross pay:

Gross pay = Regular pay + Overtime pay = $1,360 + $204 = $1,564

Finally, we need to subtract the taxes and other deductions to get Daanyal's net pay, but the question only asks for his gross pay. The closest option to our calculation is D) $1,503.85 after rounding to 2 decimal places.
