Answer: 39

========================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use the nCr formula shown below


_n C _r = (n!)/(r!*(n-r)!)

where n = 39 and r = 1. However, you could also use the identity


_n C _(1) = n

which basically says there are n ways to pick 1 item if you are given a choice of n items. In this specific case, we have 39 items total, and there are 39 ways to pick one item.
