  • \( - \ \times \ + \ \div \)
  • \( \div \ + \ \times \ - \)
  • \( + \ \div \ - \ \times \)
  • \( \times \ \div \ - \ + \)
Show Solution

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Substitute option (d) into the expression: \(8\times6\div2-4+8\).

Step 2: Multiply and divide first: \(8\times6\div2=24\).

Step 3: Since addition and subtraction can be reordered, compute \(24+8-4\) instead: \(24+8=32\), then \(32-4=28\).
\[ \boxed{28} \]
