Answer:

True.

Step-by-step explanation:

C(4, 3) means the number of combinations from 4 items taking 3 at a time. We are selecting 3 distinct items and it doesn't say anything about the order in which they are selected , so we use a combination formula not a permutation ( where order does matter).

C(4, 3) = 4! / 3! 1!

= 4*3*2*1 / 3*2*1*1

= 4.

There are 4 ways to select 3 items from 4.
