The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.

Pete is choosing his clothes for the day. His bottoms will be either cago shorts (C) or jeans (J). His top will be T-shirt (T), sweatshirt (S) or long sleeved shirt (L).

Which is a complete list of the possilbe outfits he can choose from?

CT, CS, CL, JT, JS, JL

CJ, CT, CS, CL

CJT, CJS, CJL

CT, TC, JS, SJ, CL, LC

Answer: CT, CS, CL, JT, JS, JL

Step-by-step explanation: The Fundamental Counting Principle is a method of determining a number of ways independents events can occur, i.e., it states that if there are t ways of doing something and w ways of doing another, then there are t x w ways of doing both things.

For example:

Peter has 2 choices of bottom and 3 choices of top. So, according to the principle, he will have 2 x 3 choices of clothing.

And the choices are:

shorts and t-shirt = CT

shorts and sweatshirt = CS

shorts and long sleeved = CL

jeans and T-short = JT

jeans and sweatshirt = JS

jeans and long sleeved = JL

The order he chooses doesn't matter.

So, the right alternative is CT, CS, CL, JT, JS, JL.
