Answer: Option 'c' is correct.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Associative property is the property which can be written as


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

So, according to options, we have

(8.4 + 10.3) + (-4.1) = 8.4 + (10.3 + (-4.1))

Here, a = 8.4

b = 10.3

c = -4.1

So, it satisfies the associative property.

Hence, Option 'c' is correct.
