It looks like there might be a formatting issue in your expression, but if what you intended to write is \( 5 - 2 \), then:

\[ 5 - 2 = 3 \]

However, if you meant something different, like \( 5 - 2^2 \), then:

\[ 5 - 2^2 = 5 - 4 = 1 \]

If you mean \( 5 - (-2) \) or similar, please clarify.

Based on the options provided, it seems you might be looking for a different expression that equals one of those options, but it's not clear what the original expression was meant to be. Please confirm or clarify the expression so I can assist you properly!
