C.

Answer
D.

E.
None of these

Answer: Option C

Solution

Answer: Option C
Solution:
The word 'LEADING' has 7 different letters.
When the vowels EAI are always together, they can be supposed to form one letter.
Then, we have to arrange the letters LNDG (EAI).
Now, 5 (4 + 1 = 5) letters can be arranged in 5! = 120 ways.
The vowels (EAI) can be arranged among themselves in 3! = 6 ways.
Therefore Required number of ways = (120 x 6) = 720
