According to the order of operations, we first perform any calculations inside parentheses, then do multiplication and division (from left to right), and finally do addition and subtraction (from left to right).

So, following this order, we can simplify the expression as:

(2+8) /2 *9/3 = 10/2*9/3 
= 5*3 
= 15

Therefore, the correct choice is C.
