    D.

    Correct option is A

    Given:
    '×' means '÷', '–' means '×', '÷' means '+' and '+' means '–',
    (4 – 12 ÷ 16) × 8 + 5​
    Follow BODMAS rule,
    Operation preference wiseSymbolBrackets[],,()Orders,of(power),√(root),ofDivision÷Multiplication×Addition+Subtraction−\begin{array}{ | c | c | } \hline \textbf{Operation preference wise} & \textbf{Symbol} \\\hline Brackets &[], {}, () \\ \hline Orders, of & (power), √ (root), of \\ \hline Division & ÷ \\ \hline Multiplication & × \\ \hline Addition & + \\ \hline Subtraction & - \\ \hline \end{array}​

    Logic: change mathematical sign, then
    (4 × 12 + 16) ÷ 8 – 5​
    ​= (48+16)÷8–5​​
    ​= (64)÷8–5
    ​= 8–5
    = 3
    So that correct option is option (a).
