    ​​

    A.

    ÷ and ×

    B.

    - and ×​​

    C.

    - and +​

    D.

    Logic: interchange mathematical operators and solve as per 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}​​
    Check option A,​​÷ and ×​
    Given:
    32 × 5 + 12 ÷ 4 - 18 = 29
    After interchanging,
    32 ÷ 5 + 12 × 4 - 18 = 29
    Here, 32 is perectly not divisible by 5.
    So, its not correct option.
    Check option B, ​​- and ×​​
    Given:
    32 × 5 + 12 ÷ 4 - 18 = 29
    After interchanging,
    32 - 5 + 12 ÷ 4 × 18 = 29
    27 + 3 × 18 = 29
    27 + 54 = 29
    81≠29
    So, its not correct option.
    Check option C,​​- and +​
    Given:
    32 × 5 + 12 ÷ 4 - 18 = 29
    After interchanging,
    32 × 5 - 12 ÷ 4 + 18 = 29
    160 - 3 + 18 = 29
    175≠29
    So, its not correct option.
    Check option D, ​+  and ×​​
    Given:
    32 × 5 + 12 ÷ 4 - 18 = 29
    After interchanging,
    32 + 5 × 12 ÷ 4 - 18 = 29
    32 + 5 × 3 - 18 = 29
    32 + 15 - 18 = 29
    29=29
    So, its correct option.
    Thus, correct option is (d).
