Since there are no restrictions, this makes it easier. First, let's add up the number of men and women to get the total amount of people,

7 + 11 = 18

The committee only requires 4 people, so from the 18 people we have, 4 is chosen. Hence,

18C4 = 3060

Therefore your answer is D!

Hope this helped!
