Detailed Solution

The given data is the addition of numbers

15409 + 278 + 691 + 422

.
As we know, the associative property for addition says that the addition can be done irrespective of the choice of a group of elements whose sum is to be calculated.
That is,

⇒ 15409 + 278 + 691 + 422 ⇒ 15409 + 691 + 278 + 422 ⇒ 16100 + 700 ⇒ 16800

Hence, we perform the required addition and the suitable rearrangement that helps in finding the sum is the associative property.
Therefore, the required correct option is 3.
