You are asked to create a 4-character password, and each character may be any of the 26 letters of the alphabet or the 10 numerals 0 through 9. How many different passwords are possible? Explain your reasoning. A) 364, because there are 26 + 10 = 36 different characters to choose from, so there are 364 different arrangements possible. B) 36, because there are 26 + 10 = 36 different arrangements of characters. C) 36, because there are 26 + 10 = 36 different characters to choose from. D) 264 + 104, because there are 264 different letters to choose from and 104 different numerals to choose from. E) 264 + 104, because there are 264 different arrangements of the letters and 104 different arrangements of the numerals 0 through 9.
