First of all, the possible number of airlines is n. Then, the possible number of airlines departing from one city to another becomes (n-1). Hence, the answer is n(n-1), which makes A an answer choice.

Approaching this conceptually, each individual city would have an airline to (n-1) cities (that is, the city itself would have an airline to every other city except itself). Since there are n cities, the total number of airlines would be n * (n-1), which is answer choice A.
