Correct answer: C

Step-by-Step Analysis
Interchange Operators:

The original expression is: 4515 × 5 - 431 ÷ 3 + 821

Instructions: Interchange + with - and × with ÷.

New expression: 4515 ÷ 5 + 431 × 3 - 821

Calculate according to BODMAS:

Division: 4515 ÷ 5 = 903

Multiplication: 431 × 3 = 1293

Expression now: 903 + 1293 - 821

Addition: 903 + 1293 = 2196

Subtraction: 2196 - 821 = 1375
