Answer:

The correct answer is A. 10 - 2

Explanation:

1. Let's make all the comparisons for the four alternatives:

A. 3 + 7 > 10 - 2 ⇒ 10 > 8, the comparison is correct because 10 is bigger than 8.

B. 3 + 7 > 9 + 4 ⇒ 10 > 13, the comparison is not correct because 10 is less than 13.

C. 3 + 7 > 7 + 3 ⇒ 10 > 10, the comparison is not correct because 10 is equal to 10.

D. 3 + 7 > 8 + 2 ⇒ 10 > 10, the comparison is not correct because 10 is equal to 10.

The only correct comparison is A. 10 - 2.
