Select the correct combination of mathematical signs to replace ‘’ signs and to balance the given equation:
96 2 20 2 174

Let's test the options one by one substituting the operators in place of '':Option B ($÷,\times ,+,=$):
$$96÷2\times 20+2=174$$
Applying BODMAS rule:First, division: $96÷2=48$ Next, multiplication: $48\times 20=960$ Next, addition: $960+2=962\ne 174$ Let's re-verify Option B with a different interpretation or other options:Let's look at the numbers: $96,2,20,2$. If we use Option B: $96÷2=48$. If the expression is $48+20\times 2=48+40=88\ne 174$.Let's try Option B layout directly as written: $96÷2\times 20+2$. If it means $96÷(2\times 20)+2$, no.Let's test Option A ($\times ,-,+,=$):
$$96\times 2-20+2=192-20+2=174$$
Let's check the math:
$$192-20=172$$
$$172+2=174$$
$$174=174$$
This perfectly balances the equation.
