Commutative property refers to moving stuff around

For example:

The rule for addition is "a + b = b + a"

Substitute in numbers it would be (this is just an example)

2+3=3+2

It basically just moved the numbers around.

For multiplication it would be:

"ab = ba"

Substitute in numbers would be:

"2*3 = 3*2"

So ... I think i'd probably Say A
