D Correct answer
Explanation

The word 'CREATE' has 6 letters, with 'E' appearing twice. Formula: 6! / 2! = 720 / 2 = 360. When arranging letters of a word with repeated letters, divide the factorial of total letters by the factorial of the count of each repeated letter. This accounts for identical arrangements caused by repeated letters.
