Counting the prohibited cases, we find that there are 10 of them. This is because, when we start with 9,1, and 1, we can have any of the 10 digits for the last digit. So, our answer is <math>10^4-10=\boxed{\textbf{(D)}\ 9990}.</math> | Counting the prohibited cases, we find that there are 10 of them.
