Of the following statements which one is not true?

	A.	
A combination is a selection of distinct objects without regard to order.   <<<---=== True

	B.	
A permutation is an arrangement of n objects in some specified order.       <<<---=== True

	C.	
Repetitions are allowed in combinations but not in permutations.            <<<---=== Not True.  FALSE.   
............................................ ...............................Repetitions are allowed NEITHER in combinations NOR permutations.


	D.	
Order is important in permutations but not in combinations.                 <<<---=== True
