    D.

    × and ÷

    Correct option is D

    Given,
    72 × 6 + 18 ÷ 5 - 9 = 93
    If interchange option A: × and +
    New equation: 72 + 6 × 18 ÷ 5 - 9
    72 + (6 × 18) ÷ 5 - 9
    = 72 + 108 ÷ 5 - 9
    = 72 + 21.6 - 9
    = 93.6 (Incorrect)​
    If interchange option B: + and -
    New equation: 72 × 6 - 18 ÷ 5 + 9
    ​(72 × 6) - (18 ÷ 5) + 9
    = 432 - 3.6 + 9
    = 437.4 (Incorrect)
    If interchange option C: ÷ and -
    New equation: 72 × 6 + 18 - 5 ÷ 9
    (72 × 6) + 18 - (5 ÷ 9)
    = 432 + 18 - 0.56
    = 449.44 (Incorrect)​
    If interchange option D: × and ÷
    New equation: 72 ÷ 6 + 18 × 5 - 9
    (72 ÷ 6) + (18 × 5) - 9
    = 12 + 90 - 9
    = 93(Correct)​
    Thus, the correct answer is D. × and ÷
