Option: D is the correct answer.

               D. Permutation; number of ways = 120

We need to use the method of permutation since permutation method is used for the selection as well as arrangement of the 5 students.

Now there are 5 competitors in a running competition and  5 medals are awarded for first place through  fifth place. Each medal is different.

Now, the ways it can be done is:

                     Hence, option: D is the answer.
