You can put this solution on YOUR website!  In this case, your choices multiply, because your choices for each subject are independent of each other.
 You choose 1 of 3 options for the math course,
 That choice does not affect your choices for foreign language course,
 where you still have 4 choices,
 and whatever foreign language course you choose,
 you still have 2 choices for the social science course
