You need the Combination Formula. That’s what the C stands for. This formula is used when
the order of the selected objects is not important.
In general, nCr = n! / r! (n-r)!
Here, 7C3 = 7! / 3!(7-3)!
=7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 /3 x 2 x 1 ( 4 x 3 x 2 x 1)
=7x6x5x4 / 4x3x2
=7x5x6x4 / 24
=35×24 / 24
=35
Answer is C
