Deconstructing the Question
We form 5-digit positive integers using digits 1 through 9 with no repetition.
The number must be odd, so the last digit must be one of \(\{1,3,5,7,9\}\) (5 choices).

Step-by-step
Last digit (odd): 5 choices.

After choosing the last digit, there are 8 remaining digits to fill the first 4 positions with no repetition:
\(P(8,4)=8\cdot 7\cdot 6\cdot 5\)

Total:
\(5 \cdot (8\cdot 7\cdot 6\cdot 5)=5\cdot 1680=8400\)

Answer: (C) 8400
