Answer: B. 10

-5C3 or 5 choose 3 refers to how many combinations are possible from 5 items, taken 3 at a time. To calculate combinations, we will use the formula nCr = n! / r! ... * (n - r)!, where n represents the total number of items, and r represents the number of items being chosen at a time.

-10 is the total number of all possible combinations for choosing 3 elements at a time from 5 distinct elements without considering the order of elements in statistics & probability surveys or experiments. The number of combinations for sample space 5 CHOOSE 3 can also be written as 5C3 in the format of nCr or nCk.

Step-by-step explanation: Hope this help :D
