3^7 = 2187
There are no the right answer.
If each seat must have its own color and we have only 3 colors, then it is impossible at all. We can mix 3 colors to produce other colors. And we can produce any amount of colors if we do not have mixing restrictions. So the range of answers is from impossible to unlimit.
Should be 343 if the seats are solid. 7 as a base, 3 is the degree.
I guess, the answer is (A):
3*3*3*3*3*3*3 = 3^7 = 2187
