Quantity A places a restriction on which meals a chef can cook because each chef must cook a distinct meal. In this case, there would be 3 × 2 × 1 = 6 different assignments. Quantity B does not place a restriction on which meals a chef can cook. In this case, there would be 3 × 3 × 3 = 27 different assignments, choice (B).

Shouldn't the answer for this question be C?
No. of possible combinations with 2 different entrees: \({6 \choose 2} = 15\)
No. of possible combinations with 4 different entrees: \({6 \choose 4} = 15\)
