The correct option is $\boxed{\text{\bf option D}}$ i.e, $\boxed{\text{\bf A person can get the lowest price at store C}}$ .

Further explanation:

It is given that there are three stores each have the same snowboard for an original price $\$\ 189.59$ .

Store sells the snowboard with $30\%$ off and a successive discount of $10\%$ off.

Store sells the snowboard with $20\%$ off and a successive discount of $20\%$ off.

Store sells the snowboard with $40\%$ off.

First we will calculate the selling price for store .

The cost of the snowboard is $\$\ 189.59$ and store sells it with $30\%$ off and a successive discount of $10\%$ off.

The discount given for $30\%$ off is calculated as follows:

$\boxed{\begin{aligned}30\%\text{ of}\ 189.59&=\dfrac{30}{100}\cdot 189.59\\&=0.3\cdot 189.59\\&=56.877\end{aligned}}$

So the store provide $\$\ 56.877$ discount for $30\%$ off.

The discounted price is calculated as follows:

$\boxed{189.59-56.877=132.71}$

Therefore, the discounted price is $\$\ 132.71$ .

Now we will calculate the discounted price for $10\%$ on the price $\$\ 132.71$ .

$\boxed{\begin{aligned}10\%\text{ of}\ 132.71&=\dfrac{10}{100}\cdot 132.71\\&=0.3\cdot 132.71\\&=13.271\end{aligned}}$

So the store provide $\$\ 132.71$ discount for $10\%$ successive discount.

Therefore, the total discounted price of the snowboard of $30\%$ off and a successive discount of $10\%$ off is calculated as follows:

$\boxed{132.71-13.271=119.44}$

The selling price of snowboard at store is $\bf \$\ 119.44$ .

Now we will calculate the selling price for store .

The cost of the snowboard is $\$\ 189.59$ and store sell it with $20\%$ off and a successive discount of $20\%$ off.

We will calculate the discounted price for $20\%$ off.

$\boxed{\begin{aligned}20\%\text{ of}\ 189.59&=\dfrac{20}{100}\cdot 189.59\\&=0.2\cdot 189.59\\&=37.92\end{aligned}}$

So the store provide $\$\ 37.92$ discount for $20\%$ off that means the discounted price of the snowboard for $20\%$ off is calculated as follows:

$\boxed{189.59-37.92=151.67}$

Now we will calculate the discounted price for $20\%$ on the price $\$\ 151.67$ .

$\boxed{\begin{aligned}20\%\text{ of}\ 151.67&=\dfrac{20}{100}\cdot 151.67\\&=0.2\cdot 151.67\\&=30.334\end{aligned}}$

So the store provide $\$\ 30.334$ discount for $20\%$ successive discount.

Therefore the total discounted price of the snowboard of $20\%$ off and a successive discount of $20\%$ off is calculated as follows:

$\boxed{151.67-30.334=121.336}$

The selling price of snowboard at store is $\bf \$\ 121.336$ .

Finally we will calculate the selling price for store .

The cost of the snowboard is $\$\ 189.59$ and store sell it with $40\%$ off.

The discounted price is calculated as follows:

$\boxed{\begin{aligned}40\%\text{ of}\ 189.59&=\dfrac{40}{100}\cdot 189.59\\&=0.4\cdot 189.59\\&=75.836\end{aligned}}$

The discounted price given by store is calculated as follows:

$\boxed{189.59-75.836=113.75}$

The selling price of snowboard at store is $\bf \$\ 113.75$ .

From the above calculation it is concluded that if a person purchase the snowboard then he can get lowest price from store .

Therefore, the correct option is $\boxed{\text{\bf option D}}$ i.e, $\boxed{\text{\bf A person can get the lowest price at store C}}$ .
