B is correct, associative property is property that switch the parentheses with the number around.
Ex: 4+(2-1) = (4+2) - 1. Look at those parenthesis, but when you do in operations PEMDAS , you will get both answer as 5.
A. commutative property, two number switch together still make equal number, only works for plus and multiply
Ex: 4 + 2 = 2 +4 , not 54 - 4 = 4 - 54
C. Commutative property also like A
 D. Assiocative of multiplication
