Answer:

B

Explanation:

additions and multiplications have the commutative property.

that means the sequence of the operands of the operation does not matter.

a + b = b + a

a×b = b×a

but it does not apply to subtractions and divisions.

a - b is in most cases very different from b - a

and the same for a/b : very different from b/a
