A. +
B. -
C. ×
D. ÷

Answer 1

To make the statement true, none of the given symbols (+, -, ×, ÷) can replace the box.

Step-by-step explanation:

To make the statement 12 ÷ 4 □ 2 = 13 true, we need to find the correct symbol to replace the box. Here's how we can solve it:

1. We start by dividing 12 by 4, which gives us 3.
2. Next, we multiply 3 by 2 to get 6.
3. Finally, we check if 6 is equal to 13. Since it's not, we conclude that none of the given symbols (+, -, ×, ÷) can replace the box to make the statement true.

Therefore, the answer is None of the above.
