From the expression:


12+6-9

Notice that it has three terms: positive 12, positive 6 and negative 9.

For the commutative property, those terms can be arranged in a different order but the expression will be equivalent. Just be careful not to change the sign of the terms.

From the options, the only one which keeps the term 9 negative and the oters positive, is option C.
