The correct option is Two.

To find how many digits remain in the same position after re-arranging, let's compare the original sequence of digits with the sequence obtained after arranging them in ascending order (from left to right).

Step 1: Write down the original number and identify the position of each digit.
Original Number: 15762349
Position 1: 1
Position 2: 5
Position 3: 7
Position 4: 6
Position 5: 2
Position 6: 3
Position 7: 4
Position 8: 9

Step 2: Arrange the digits in ascending order from left to right.
Sorted Digits: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9

Step 3: Compare the original positions with the new positions.
Position 1: Original = 1, New = 1 (Unchanged)
Position 2: Original = 5, New = 2 (Changed)
Position 3: Original = 7, New = 3 (Changed)
Position 4: Original = 6, New = 4 (Changed)
Position 5: Original = 2, New = 5 (Changed)
Position 6: Original = 3, New = 6 (Changed)
Position 7: Original = 4, New = 7 (Changed)
Position 8: Original = 9, New = 9 (Unchanged)

We can see that the digits 1 and 9 retain their original positions (Position 1 and Position 8 respectively).

Therefore, the position of Two digits remains unchanged.
