Answer 1

The statement \((3 + 6) + 2 = (6 + 3) + 2\) is an example of the **Commutative Property**. This property states that the order in which two numbers are added does not change the sum. In this case, \(3 + 6\) and \(6 + 3\) are being rearranged in the expression.

So, the correct answer is:

**B. Commutative**
