Answer: C

Solution:

The even digits are 0, 2, 4, 6, and 8. However, since the first digit (or the thousands place digit) can’t be 0, there are 4 choices for the thousands digit, while the other three places (hundreds, tens, and units) have 5 choices each. Therefore, the total number of 4-digit numbers with all even digits is 4 x 5 x 5 x 5 = 500.
