Answer:

D. 58,905

Explanation:

Number of seats available for Mr. Jones had for the trip = 4

Number of students in his class = 36

Number of ways he can select a group of 4 out of 36 students from his class is calculated as follows:


C \binom{36}{4} = (36!)/((36 - 4)! * 4!))


= (36!)/((32! * 4!)) = 58,905
