The identity property of multiplication, also called the multiplication property of one says that a number does not change when that number is multiplied by 1.

So, which one do you think it is?

D?

Commutative property: When two numbers are multiplied together, the product is the same regardless of the order of the multiplicands. For example 4 * 2 = 2 * 4

    Associative Property: When three or more numbers are multiplied, the product is the same regardless of the grouping of the factors. For example (2 * 3) * 4 = 2 * (3 * 4)

    Multiplicative Identity Property: The product of any number and one is that number. For example 5 * 1 = 5. $$\checkmark$$ 

    Distributive property: The sum of two numbers times a third number is equal to the sum of each addend times the third number. For example 4 * (6 + 3) = 4*6 + 4*3
