Following the order of operations (BODMAS/PEMDAS):

1. First, solve the operation inside the Brackets: $7 - 4 = 3$ The expression becomes: $18 \div 3 \times 2 + 5$
2. Next, perform Division and Multiplication from left to right: $18 \div 3 = 6$ The expression becomes: $6 \times 2 + 5$ $6 \times 2 = 12$ The expression becomes: $12 + 5$
3. Finally, perform Addition: $12 + 5 = 17$ Therefore, the correct answer is 17. The other options are incorrect due to misapplication of BODMAS, such as performing addition before multiplication or division.
