Option: 2

\mathrm{\frac{n^{r-1}}{n-1}}

When \mathrm{k(1 \leq k \leq r)} things are arranged, the number of possible arrangements, when repetition is allowed is

\mathrm{\underbrace{n \times n \times \ldots \ldots \times n}_{k \text { times }}=n^{k}}

Thus, the total possible arrangements is

\mathrm{n+n^{2}+n^{3}+\ldots+n^{r}=\frac{n\left(n^{r}-1\right)}{n-1}}.
