The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Concept: First digit of a number cannot be zero.

Step 1:
Total permutations.
\[ \text{Total ways} = 5! = 120 \]

Step 2:
Subtract invalid cases (starting with 0).
Fix 0 at first place, arrange remaining 4 digits: \[ 4! = 24 \]

Step 3:
Valid numbers.
\[ 120 - 24 = 96 \]
