I don’t understand why the right answer is C.
We can have 6! instead of 2!3! ( answer A ) if we can mix The Lord of The Rings and The Hobbit books. But according the task we can’t.

Given: Denise wants to organize her media shelf with all her old DVDs. Her collection includes 8 from Harry Potter, 3 from Lord of the Rings, 3 from The Hobbit, and 4 from The Hunger Game series. She doesn't care about the order within each series, but they each need to be in their own group. Furthermore, she wants to make sure that The Lord of The Rings and The Hobbit series are beside each other.

Asked: How many different ways can she arrange her DVDs?

Number of ways to select the series = 2*3!
Number of ways to arrange the DVDs = 2!3!* 8!3!3!4! = 2!3!3!3!4!8!

IMO A


Bunuel please check whether OA - C is correct. IMO it should be A.
