If there are $10$ stations on a route and the train has to be stopped at $4$ of them then the number of ways in which train can be stopped so that at least two stopping stations are consecutive is :

$
(a) \: \; {}\_{7}C\_{4} \qquad
(b) \: \; {}\_{10}C\_{4} - {}\_8C\_{3} \qquad
(c) \: \; {}\_{10}C\_{4}- {}\_{7}C\_{3} \qquad
(d) \: \; {}\_{8}C\_{3}$
