  1. A
    321
  2. B
    223
  3. C

  4. D
    112

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

First, perform the given interchanges of the signs:
'÷' becomes '×'

'−' becomes '+'

'×' becomes '÷'

'+' becomes '−'

Rewriting the expression with the new signs:

25×5+918÷9−4
Now, solve using the BODMAS rule:

Division:

918÷9=102
The expression becomes: 25×5+102−4

Multiplication:

25×5=125
The expression becomes: 125+102−4

Addition:

125+102=227
Subtraction:

227−4=223
