Thus, in such languages means the same as in ordinary algebraic notation. If is evaluated in such a language, the result in ordinary algebraic notation would be
(A)
(B)
(C)

(E)
Solution
The rightmost part of the expression is , so would be grouped as , and thus the whole expression would be grouped as .
Final answer
E
