D. 132

Explanation:

According to BODMAS the simplification has the following order,

B = Bracket,

O = Of

D = Division,

M = Multiplication,

A = Addition,

S = Subtraction,

Given expression,

`12((6^2)/(5^2-4^2)+7)`

`=12((36)/(25-16)+7)`

`=12((36)/(9)+7)`

`=12(4+7)`

`=12(11)`

= 132

Hence, OPTION D is correct.
