A Correct answer
Explanation

Read carefully: you're restricted to using ONLY the letters C, A, and T to spell the word 'Cat'. With these three specific letters in this specific order, there's exactly ONE way to arrange them to form 'Cat' (C-A-T). While 'act' could be formed with these letters, the question asks specifically about spelling 'Cat', not 'act'. The answer 8 would apply if asking how many different 3-letter words can be formed from three distinct letters, but that's not what's being asked.
