Comment: That is a very vague question.

They might want the answer as 2*4*3 = 24

That could be illustrated with a tree diagram.

1st level has two branches
2nd level has 4 branches for each of the two 1st level branches
3rd level has 3 branches for each of the four 2nd level branches
Total of 24 branches.
