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).
