The statement that demonstrates the Associative Property of Multiplication is:

(3⋅5)⋅2=3⋅(5⋅2)

This property states that the way in which numbers are grouped in multiplication does not change the product. In this case, whether you multiply (3 times 5) first and then multiply by 2, or multiply 5 by 2 first and then multiply by 3, the result will be the same.
