Answer

Correct option: B.

3720

3720

Solution:
At least one green dye can be chosen in $^5\text{C}_1+\ ^5\text{C}_2\ +\ ^5\text{C}_3+\ ^5\text{C}_4+\ ^5\text{C}_5=22^5-1$ways.
At least one blue dye can be chosen in $^4\text{C}_1+\ ^4\text{C}_2\ +\ ^4\text{C}_3+\ ^4\text{C}_4=2^4-1$ ways.
Any number of red dyes can be chosen in $^3\text{C}_0+\ ^3\text{C}_1\ +\ ^3\text{C}_2+\ ^3\text{C}_3=2^3$ ways.
so, total nnumber of required selection $=(2^5-1)\times(2^4-1)\times2^3=3720$
