Of the 12 temporary employees in a certain company, 4 will be hired as permanent employees. If 5 of the 12 temporary employees are women, how many of the possible groups of 4 temporary employees consist of 3 women and 1 man?

A) 22
B) 35
C) 56
D) 70
E) 105

answer is D) 70

I'd appreciate help setting up the problem properly. I came up with numbers much larger than the choices.
Thanks
