  • A N!
  • B (n - 3)!
  • C N(n - 1)(n-2)
  • D N(n- 1)(n-2)(n- 3)
Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation:
The expression \(\frac{n!}{(n-3)!}\) can be simplified as follows:

\[
\frac{n!}{(n-3)!} = \frac{n \times (n-1) \times (n-2) \times (n-3)!}{(n-3)!}
\]

The \((n-3)!\) terms cancel out, leaving:

\[
n \times (n-1) \times (n-2)
\]

So, the correct answer is:

C. \( n(n-1)(n-2) \).
