Correct answer: D

The word ALLAHABAD contains 9 letters in total. The letter 'A' repeats 4 times and the letter 'L' repeats 2 times. To find the number of distinct arrangements, use the permutation formula for repeated items: n! / (n1! * n2!). Substituting the values gives 9! / (4! * 2!) = 362880 / (24 * 2) = 362880 / 48 = 7560.
