Shaun is starting a new diet plan that offers him the choice of fruit or yogurt for breakfast, 6 different entrees for lunch, and 9 different entrees for dinner. If Shaun chooses an Italian entree for lunch, he always chooses an Italian entree for dinner. If Shaun chooses a Chinese entree for lunch, he never chooses a Chinese entree for dinner. If there are 2 Italian entrees and 2 Chinese entrees among the lunch choices, and 3 Italian entrees and 3 Chinese entrees among the dinner choices, from how many different daily menus can Shaun choose?

A. 24
B. 36
C. 72
D. 90
E. 108

Breakfast - 2 (F or Y)
Lunch - 6 (2I, 2C, 2O)
Dinner - 9 (3I, 3C, 3O)

If L = I then D = I
If L= C then D is not equal to C

Italian Lunch
2 * 2 * 3 =12
Chinese Lunch
2* 2 * 6 = 24
Other Lunch
2 * 2 * 9 = 36

Total = 72 options
C
