Solution

The correct option is C 20
20 choices: Consider the toppings first. Model the toppings with the "word" YYYYN, in which four of the toppings are on the pizza and one is not. The number of anagrams for this "word" is:
5!4!=5
If each of these pizzas can also be offered in 2 choices of crust, there are 5×2=10 pizzas. The same logic applies for extra cheese and regular: 10×2=20.
