The correct answer is:
B

It is possible in two mutually exclusive cases

Case 1. 2 children get none, one child gets three and all remaining children get one each.

Case 2. Children get none, 2 children get 2 each and all remaining children get one each.

In case one number of ways

In second case number of ways

Thus total ways

= (10!) 2
