According to the order of precedence, multiplication and division are executed before addition and subtraction. Therefore, 3 * 2 (choice B) will be executed first, resulting in 6. Then, 10 / 2 (choice D) will be executed next, resulting in 5. So the expression will become 6 - 6 + 7 - 5. Moving left to right, 6 - 6 results in 0, then adding 7 gives 7, and finally subtracting 5 gives 2. Therefore, the result of the expression is 2.
