    Given:
    Sign

    Interchanged
    -
    ×
    ​Check Each Option:
    Option A: 15 × 3 – 17 + 6 ÷ 2 = 11
    After changes: 15 ÷ 3 + 17 – 6 × 2 = 11
    5 + 17 - 6 × 2 = 11
    5 + 17 - 12 = 11
    22 - 12 = 11
    10 \not= 11
    Option B: 2 ÷ 7 + 8 – 21 × 3 = 14
    After changes: 2 × 7 – 8 + 21 ÷ 3 = 14
    2 × 7 – 8 + 7 = 14
    14 + 7 - 8 = 14
    21 - 8 = 14
    13 \not=​ 14
    Option C: 12 – 16 × 2 + 5 ÷ 4 = 1
    After changes: 12 + 16 ÷ 2 – 5 × 4 = 1
    12 + 8 – 5 × 4 = 1
    12 + 8 – 20 = 1
    20 - 20 = 1
    \not=​ 1
    Option D: 17 + 7 ÷ 2 – 21 × 3 = 10
    After changes: 17 – 7 × 2 + 21 ÷ 3 = 10
    17 – 7 × 2 + 7 = 10
    17 – 14 + 7 = 10
    3 + 7 = 10
    10 = 10 (Follow)
    Thus, the correct option is: (d)
