Answer:

Option C.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

Total number of applicants = 9

Number of job = 3

We need to select 3 applicants out of 9. So, the required number of ways is

[tex]^9P_3=\dfrac{9!}{(9-3)!}[/tex]

[tex]^9P_3=\dfrac{9\times 8\times 7\times 6!}{6!}[/tex]

[tex]^9P_3=9\times 8\times 7[/tex]

[tex]^9P_3=504[/tex]

Therefore, there are [tex]^9P_3=504[/tex] ways the positions can be filled because the order in which the applicants are chosen matters.

Hence, the correct option is C.
