Answer:

D. choosing first second-, and third-place winners in a cooking contest​

Explanation:

Permutations are involved when order matters. The order of people surveyed, sundae flavors, and flowers are irrelevant. The order of first-second-third is entirely relevant.

Cooking contest winners involve permutations.
