Find the missing number.
-4 __ 8 __ 3 __ 6 = 174
A) 4 ∙ (8 + 3 ∙ 6) = 174
B) 4 ∙ 8 ∙ 3 - 6 = 174
C) (4 ∙ 8 - 3) ∙ 6 = 174
D) 4 ∙ 8 - 3 ∙ 6 = 174

We can use BODMAS rule to solve this problem. 
First, we need to find the missing numbers, which are the two numbers between 4 and 8 and between 8 and 3, respectively. 
Let's assume the missing numbers are x and y.
Then the expression becomes:
4xy3y6 = 174
Now, we can rearrange the expression using the given choices and solve for x and y:
A) 4 ∙ (8 + 3 ∙ 6) = 4 ∙ (26) = 104, not equal to 174
B) 4 ∙ 8 ∙ 3 - 6 = 102, not equal to 174
C) (4 ∙ 8 - 3) ∙ 6 = 150, which is equal to 174 when we substitute x = 2 and y = 5
D) 4 ∙ 8 - 3 ∙ 6 = 20, not equal to 174
Therefore, the best choice is C.
