The Commutative Property of Multiplication states that the order of the factors does not affect the product. In other words, when you multiply two numbers, you can swap their positions and still get the same result.

Out of the given options, the one that shows the Commutative Property of Multiplication is:

a×b = b×a
In this case, it says that multiplying "a" by "b" is equal to multiplying "b" by "a". This demonstrates the commutative property because no matter which order the factors are written in, the product remains the same.
