Explanation
If Jeff watches one movie, he has four different choices for that one movie, so choice (A) is a correct answer. To find the total number of arrangements of two movies, first write out two slots.
For the first movie, he has 4 choices and a 4 goes in the first slot. For the second movie, he now has three choices and a 3 goes in the second slot. 4 × 3 = 12, so choice (E) is correct.
There are 24 arrangements if he watches three movies: 4 × 3 × 2 = 24. Choice (E) is also correct.
Hence options A, E, and F are correct!

shouldn't we add up all the outcomes as wording "or" is used and get only one answer.?
