C
You can use permutations when order doesn’t matter and use combinations when order matters.
D
You can use permutations and combinations when order doesn’t matter.

Explanation

Use permutations when the order of the selected items matters, such as arranging people in different positions. Use combinations when only which items are selected matters, not their order. Therefore, the true statement is that permutations are for when order matters and combinations are for when order doesn’t matter.
