Answer: The answer is (A) -19.
Step-by-step explanation: We are given an algebraic expression to solve as follows:
[tex]3(5-12)+4\div 2.[/tex]
We will be using the rule of BODMAS to solve the given expression.
The evaluation is as follows:
[tex]3(5-12)+4\div 2\\\\=3(-7)+4\div 2\\\\=3\times (-7)+4\div 2\\\\=3\times(-7)+\dfrac{4}{2}\\\\=3\times(-7)+2\\\\=-21+2\\\\=-19.[/tex]
Thus, the value of the given expression is -19.
Thus, the correct option is (A).
