Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Apply operator precedence
Multiplication (*) has higher precedence, so calculate b * c = 2 * 3 = 6 first.
Step 2: Evaluate the expression left to right
Expression becomes 4 - 6 + 5 = (4 - 6) + 5 = -2 + 5 = 3.
Final Answer:
3 is printed -> Option A
Quick Check:
Multiplication first, then addition/subtraction = 3 [OK]

Quick Trick: Multiply before add or subtract [OK]
