  1. A
    ÷, +, -, ×, +, =
  2. B
    ×, +, -, =, +, ÷
  3. C
    ÷, -, + ,-, ×, =
  4. D
    ÷, +, =, +, -, ×

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Let's verify the options sequentially using BODMAS rules:
Option A: ÷, +, -, ×, +, =

165÷33+26−17×2+19=16
Let's compute step by step:

5+26−34+19=16
31−34+19=16
−3+19=16
16=16(Correct)
Since Option A balances the equation, it is the correct answer.
