C

Explanation

(7-1)! =6!=720When arranging people around a circular table, the number of ways to arrange them is given by (n-1)!, where n is the number of people. This is because we fix one person's position and then arrange the rest around them.In this case, with 7 directors, the number of ways they can sit around the table is (7-1)! = 6! = 720 ways.
