Solution

The correct option is C Both of them
According to the commutative property of addition, when two numbers are added, the order of the numbers does not affect the answer.

Given, the three numbers are 12, 13, and 14.

We can add them in different ways as shown below:

12 + 13 + 14 = 39
13 + 14 + 12 = 39
12 + 14 + 13 = 39

So, both of them are correct.
