Select all of the following problem situations that involve permutations.

A permutation is used when the order of the selected items matters. In A, arranging the letters creates different orders; in D, who earns gold, silver, and bronze matters; and in E, changing the order of digits creates a different access code. In B and C, only which varieties or books are chosen matters, not their order, so those are combinations.
