The correct answer is:

C.choosing 3 people to fill the positions of president, vice president, and treasure out of 10 candidates

Step-by-step explanation:

A permutation is a type of combination where order is important. The only one of these choices where some ranking is involved is C, the positions of president, vice president and treasurer.
