38. Brian receives 6 magazines at the begining of each month. If he wants to read 2 magazines, then how many combinations of 2 could he select?

A. 12

B. 6

C. 30

D. 11

E. 36

wouldn't this just be C(6,2) =15?
I think the authors messed up and they ran a permutation hence they say C is correct 😕
 
I got it by just listing

A, B, C, D, E, F

then going through the different combinations.
