Option D is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A girl has 3 different swimsuits, 4 different shorts and 3 different pairs of flip-flops.

Different ways can this girl wear a swimsuit, a pair of short and a pair of flip-flops = 3P₁ x 4P₁ x 3P₁

= 3 x 4 x 3

= 36

Different ways can this girl wear a swimsuit, a pair of short and a pair of flip-flops = 36
