C
4 plus 0 is equal to 4
D
1 times 3 is equal to 3

Explanation

The commutative property of addition says that changing the order of the addends does not change the sum. In 4 + 3 = 3 + 4, the numbers switch places but the total stays the same. Choice A shows the associative property, which changes the grouping instead.
