(D) The word '$MATHEMATICS$' contains $11$ letters: $2M, 2T, 2A, H, E, I, C, S$. There are $8$ distinct types of letters: ${M, T, A, H, E, I, C, S}$.We need to arrange $4$ letters. The cases are:Case $I$: $2$ alike of one kind and $2$ alike of another kind.Number of ways to choose $2$ pairs from $3$ available pairs $(M, T, A)$ is $^3C_2 = 3$.Number of arrangements = $3 	imes \frac{4!}{2!2!} = 3 	imes 6 = 18$.Case $II$: $2$ alike of one kind and $2$ different.Number of ways to choose $1$ pair from $3$ is $^3C_1 = 3$. Number of ways to choose $2$ different letters from the remaining $7$ types is $^7C_2 = 21$.Number of arrangements = $3 	imes 21 	imes \frac{4!}{2!} = 63 	imes 12 = 756$.Case $III$: All $4$ letters are different.Number of ways to choose $4$ different letters from $8$ types is $^8C_4 = 70$.Number of arrangements = $70 	imes 4! = 70 	imes 24 = 1680$.Total number of arrangements = $18 + 756 + 1680 = 2454$.

The number of ways in which four letters of the word '$MATHEMATICS$' can be arranged is given by
