Answer:

B. (2+5) + 7 = 2 + (5+7)

Explanation:

The Associative Property of Addition states that:

(a+b) + c = a + (b+c).

Or, any three or more numbers added together will have the same sum no matter how they are grouped.

Answer choice B is the only choice that exhibits this, and so, B is the answer.

Hope this helps!
