    The answer is (3) 4896.

    This number comes from multiplying 18 x 17 x 16

    This is because any of the 18 students could be picked as a leader. Then, any of the remaining 17 students could be picked as a recorder. Then, any of the remaining 16 students could be picked as a timekeeper. Therefore, you multiply 18 by 17 by 16 to get 4896 combinations.
