The correct statement is C.

To notice this, we need to remember the correct order of operations:

• Parentheses

,

• Powers and roots

,

• Multiplications and divisions

,

• Additions and subtractions.

Using this ordering we have for each operation:

A.


\begin{gathered} 25-15*4-3*2=25-60-6 \\ =-41 \end{gathered}

B.


\begin{gathered} 24-15*(4-3)*2=24-15*1*2 \\ =24-30 \\ =-6 \end{gathered}

C.


\begin{gathered} (24-15)*4-3*2=9*4-3*2 \\ =36-6 \\ =30 \end{gathered}

D.


\begin{gathered} (24-15)*4-3*2=9*4-3*2 \\ =36-6 \\ =30 \end{gathered}

Hence the only correct result in the operations is the one given in option C.
