Correct Answer

Explanation
If 2 of the 6 colored chalks are of the same color, we can treat them as indistinguishable. This means that we have 5 distinct chalks to arrange.The number of ways to arrange 5 distinct chalks is given by the factorial of 5, denoted as 5!.5! = 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 360Therefore, there are 360 ways to arrange the 6 colored chalks if 2 of them are of the same color.
