Solution

The correct option is B Commutative property of multiplication
Associative property of multiplication states that the product of the numbers will be independent of the way numbers are grouped.
Hence, this property is not applied to the expression as grouping is not possible.

3×4=12
4×3=12

Therefore 3 × 4 = 4 × 3 holds the commutative property of multiplication i.e. changing the order of factors does not change the product of the numbers.

Distributive property of multiplication states that when a sum of number is multiplied by a individual number, it is equal to the result when each number is multiplied with that number separately.
Here, no such expression are there hence the expression does not follows this property.
