The correct statement is:
A. Division is neither commutative nor associative.
In detail:
- **Commutative property**: For division, \( a \div b \) is not necessarily equal to \( b \div a \). For example, \( 10 \div 5 = 2 \) and \( 5 \div 10 = 0.5 \).
- **Associative property**: For division, \( (a \div b) \div c \) is not necessarily equal to \( a \div (b \div c) \). For example, \( (8 \div 4) \div 2 = 2 \div 2 = 1 \), but \( 8 \div (4 \div 2) = 8 \div 2 = 4 \).
Therefore, division fails both the commutative and associative properties.
