To determine the best answer for verifying the subtraction result of [tex]\(25 - 13 = 12\)[/tex], we need to use the proper inverse operation and check if it returns the original number. The correct inverse operation for subtraction is addition. Let's evaluate each option:

A. [tex]\(12 + 13 = 25\)[/tex]
- When we add 12 and 13, we obtain 25. This aligns with the original number from which we subtracted. Therefore, this correctly verifies the subtraction.

B. [tex]\(12 \times 25 = 13\)[/tex]
- Multiplying 12 by 25 gives us 300, not 13. This does not verify the subtraction correctly.

C. [tex]\(12 \div 25 = 13\)[/tex]
- Dividing 12 by 25 gives us 0.48, not 13. This also does not verify the subtraction correctly.

D. [tex]\(12 \times 13 = 25\)[/tex]
- Multiplying 12 by 13 gives us 156, not 25. This does not verify the subtraction either.

Based on the evaluations, the correct option is:

A. [tex]\(12 + 13 = 25\)[/tex]

This properly checks the original subtraction of [tex]\(25 - 13 = 12\)[/tex] by returning the initial minuend (25) when using the inverse operation (addition). Therefore, the best answer is:

A. [tex]\(12+13=25\)[/tex]
