A certain office supply store stocks 2 sizes of self-stick notepads, each in 4 colors:  blue, green, yellow, or pink.  The store packs the notepads in packages that contain either 3 notepads of the same size and the same color or 3 notepads of the same size and of
3 different colors. “ If the order in which the colors are packed is not considered,” how many different packages of the types described above are possible?

(A)  6
(B)  8
(C)  16
(D)  24
(E)  32

“ If the order in which the colors are packed is not considered,”是说颜色不予考虑，还是颜色可以随意的意思呢？
求教！
