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.

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.
