Answer: D

Step-by-step explanation: This is because when solving this 2 step problem, The overall topic goes out the parentheses. So, You can automatically take out " C ". Also, when you do 2 step problems there is always going to be 2 operations. So, you wouldn't even have to do the math. It's common sense the only one showing 2 operations and have the " 7 " out is " D " So you may eliminate all the other answer choices. :))))
