Explanation & Answer

Thank you for the opportunity to help you with your question!

The number of possible combinations should be choice C.) 216 possible responses.

You have 3 trials, each with 6 different outcomes.  The total possible number of outcomes from these 3 trials together is the product of their outcomes.  Therefore # of possible responses = 6 * 6 * 6 = 216

Please let me know if you need any clarification. I'm always happy to answer your questions.
