The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

The tens place is fixed as 2. The ten-thousands place cannot be 0 or 2, so it can be filled in 8 ways.
The remaining three places (units, hundreds, thousands) must be filled with distinct digits from the 8 digits that are still unused (10 digits minus the digit 2 and the leading digit): \(8\times7\times6=336\) ways.
Total numbers \(=8\times336\).
Comparing with \(336k\): \(k=8\).
Answer: (2) 8
