We can choose
1 out of 3 breads
1 out of 6 meats
1 out of 4 cheese
and we can choose 0,1,2, or 3 veggies out 8
Using Principle of Counting
Case1: Number of sandwiches when we choose no veggies
3*6*4= 72
Case2: Number of sandwiches when we choose 1 out of 8 veggies
3*6*4*8= 576
Case3: Number of sandwiches when we choose 2 out of 8 veggies
3*6*4*(8 choose 2)= 2016
Case4: Number of sandwiches when we choose 3 out of 8 veggies
3*6*4*(8 choose 3)= 4.032
Total Number of Sandwiches is: 72+576+504+4032 = 6696
Final Answer: C
