The commutative law says that we can swap the position of numbers when we add or multiply and still get the same result

The commutative property of multiplication can be expressed as

ab = ba

The commutative property of addition can be expressed as

a + b = b + a

Looking at the given expression,

12 and pi were swapped and the sign involved is multiplication. Thus, the correct option is

D. Commutative property of multiplication
