The correct statement is:
**Division is neither commutative nor associative.**
In detail:
- **Commutative property**: For a binary operation to be commutative, the order of the operands does not matter (e.g., \( a \div b \neq b \div a \)).
- **Associative property**: For a binary operation to be associative, the grouping of the operands does not matter (e.g., \( (a \div b) \div c \neq a \div (b \div c) \)).
Since division does not satisfy either of these properties, the correct answer is that division is neither commutative nor associative.
