Answer: 3, I believe.
Explanation:
It’s a little confusing, but since there are 9 people in <u>TOTAL</u> and only 3 prizes, there can only be 3 winners. You are being asked how many possible ways there are for you and your mother to gain first and second place respectively. Therefore, I believe it is 3. However, if it is not 3, then there is only one.
I’d say that the answer is c the rest of them seem incomplete.
