i think it's A, but im confused, why it is D. Can you explain me plz?

anonymous · Answer

I just multiplied 4*19 and, oops I got 76 from that but because I didn't go back to the problem or answers after I got that, I assumed that I got i12, lol my fault. So I obviously don't know what I'm doing..

anonymous · Answer

How come you think it's A?

anonymous · Answer

by probability, but im NOT sure. 14*13*12... till *6 the quantity of those numbers are 9. We don't care which article to take so for the first time there 14 perspectives, then one is already picked so one less left 13...
