    Explanation:
    Check option A, +, ×, −, ÷
    Given:
    26 * 52 * 38 * 57 * 23 = 53
    After interchanging,
    26 + 52 × 38 - 57 ÷ 23 = 53
    Here, 57 is perfectly not divisible by 23.
    ​So, its not correct option.
    Check option B, ÷, ×, +, −
    Given:
    26 * 52 * 38 * 57 * 23 = 53
    After interchanging,
    26 ÷ 52 × 38 + 57 - 23 = 53
    Or, 19 + 34 = 53
    Or, 53=53
    So, its correct option.
    Check option C, ×, ÷, +, −
    Given:
    26 * 52 * 38 * 57 * 23 = 53
    After interchanging,
    26 × 52 ÷ 38 + 57 - 23 = 53
    Here, 52 is perfectly not divisible by 38.
    ​So, its not correct option.
    Check option D, −, ×, ÷, −
    Given:
    26 * 52 * 38 * 57 * 23 = 53
    After interchanging,
    26 - 52 × 38 ÷ 57 - 23 = 53
    Here, 38 is perfectly not divisible by 57.
    ​So, its not correct option.
    Thus, option B is correct.​​
