The best answer for the given question is:

We need to solve [tex]\(12 \div 2 + 4 - 2 \times 3\)[/tex] by following the order of operations (often remembered by the acronym PEMDAS/BODMAS, which stands for Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), Addition and Subtraction (from left to right)).

1. Division (from left to right):
[tex]\(12 \div 2 = 6\)[/tex]

2. Multiplication (from left to right):
[tex]\(2 \times 3 = 6\)[/tex]

3. Addition and Subtraction (from left to right):
Now, substitute the results of the division and multiplication back into the expression:
[tex]\(6 + 4 - 6\)[/tex]

4. Perform the addition:
[tex]\(6 + 4 = 10\)[/tex]

5. Perform the subtraction:
[tex]\(10 - 6 = 4\)[/tex]

Therefore, the correct answer is [tex]\(4\)[/tex], which corresponds to option C:

C. 4
