    D.

    ×, ÷

    Correct option is A

    Given:  5 × 4 ÷ 10 – 8 + 2 = 8
    From option (a): interchanging + and -
    Equation will become 
    5 × 4 ÷ 10 + 8 - 2 
    20 ÷ 10 + 6
    2 + 6 = 8 =8 
    (This equation is correct.)
    From option (b): interchanging + and ×
    Equation will become 
    5 + 4 ÷ 10 – 8 ×\times​ 2 = 8
    9 ÷ 10 – 16
    0.9 - 16 = -15.1 \neq 8
    (This equation is incorre​ct.)
    From option (c): interchanging + and ÷
    Equation will become 
    ​5 × 4 + 10 – 8 ÷ 2
    20 + 10 – 4
    30 – 4 = 26 \neq 8 
    ​(This equation is incorrect.)​
    4) From option (d): interchanging × and ÷
    ​Equation will become​
    5 ÷ 4 ×\times​ 10 – 8 + 2 
    1.25 ×\times 10 – 6 
    12.5– 6 = 6.5 \neq 8 
    ​(This equation is incorrect.)​
