Answer:

B, Associative property for multiplication

Explanation:

Commutative property means the numbers can be multiplied in any order, so the (5 x 3) x 2 could be written as 3 x 5 x 2 and would be the same.

Associative property deals more with groupings of terms/numbers. Since the order of the numbers stayed the same, and the parentheses are moved, this is an example of the associative property.
