Order Of Operations
The set of rules that specifies the sequence in which mathematical operations are performed to accurately calculate an expression.
Leftmost Formulas
Leftmost Formulas are formulas in spreadsheet software that are located in the leftmost cells of a row or column, often used to calculate summaries or key values from other data in the row or column.
Parentheses

Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Excel follows the order of operations (PEMDAS), which stands for Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (performed from left to right), and Addition and Subtraction (performed from left to right). This means that operations inside parentheses, exponents, multiplication and division are performed before addition and subtraction.
