The variable cost of the party includes the cost per person for invitations, meal, and party favors.

For 25 people, the cost for invitations is $3 x 25 = $75.

The cost for the meal is $15 x 25 = $375.

The cost for party favors is $8 x 25 = $200.

The total variable cost is $75 + $375 + $200 = $650.

Therefore, the best choice is C.
