    Check option A,+ and −
    Given:
    156 ÷ 12 − 4 × 65 + 87 = 74
    After interchanging,
    156 ÷ 12 + 4 × 65 - 87 = 74
    13 + 260 - 87 = 74
    186≠74
    So, its not correct option.
    Check option B, = and ×
    Given:
    156 ÷ 12 − 4 × 65 + 87 = 74
    After interchanging,
    156 ÷ 12 − 4 = 65 + 87 × 74
    13 − 4 = 65 + 6438
    9≠6503
    So, its not correct option.
    Check option C,× and −
    Given:
    156 ÷ 12 − 4 × 65 + 87 = 74
    After interchanging,
    156 ÷ 12 × 4 - 65 + 87 = 74
    13 × 4 - 65 + 87 = 74
    52 - 65 + 87 = 74
    74=74
    So, its correct option.
    Check option D,+ and =
    Given:
    156 ÷ 12 − 4 × 65 + 87 = 74
    After interchanging,
    156 ÷ 12 − 4 × 65 = 87 + 74
    13 − 260 = 87 + 74
    -247≠161
    So, its not correct option.
    Thus, option C is correct.
