Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The binomial coefficient nCr{ } _ { n } C _ { r }nCr represents the number of ways to choose r items from a set of n items, without order and without replacement.

So, 58C1{ } _ { 58 } C _ { 1 }58C1 represents the number of ways to choose 1 item from a set of 58 items. Since we are choosing only 1 item, there are 58 choices.

Therefore, 58C1{ } _ { 58 } C _ { 1 }58C1 = 58.

The answer is C.
