Written solution:
First, there are 99 digits to choose for the thousands digit since 00 can’t be chosen.
Then, after that, there are 99 ways to choose the hundreds digit, 88 ways to choose the tens digit, and 77 ways to choose the ones digit. Therefore, we get 9⋅9⋅8⋅7=45369\cdot9\cdot8\cdot7 = 4536 ways to choose such an integer.
Thus, the correct answer is B .
