We will have the following:

First, the smallest 5-digit integer with nonzero digits, none of which is repeated is:


A=12345

Second, the greatest 5-digit integer with nonzero digits, none of which is repeated is:


B=98765

Finally, we would have:


B-A=98765-12345\Rightarrow B-A=86420

So, the solution is 86 420. [Option C]
