The correct answer is

̶ , +, ÷, =, ×, +

Let's check each option,

1)  ̶ , +, ÷, ×, =, +

→ 52 - 12 + 15 ÷ 3× 6 = 5 + 15

→ 52 - 12 + 5 × 6 =  5 +  15

→ 52 - 12 + 30 =  5 + 15

→ 82 - 12 = 20

→ 70 ≠ 20

LHS ≠ RHS

2) -, +, ÷, =, ×, +

→ 52 - 12 + 15 ÷ 3 = 6 × 5 + 15

→ 52 - 12 + 5 =  × 5 +  15

→ 52 -  12 + 5  = 30 + 15

→ 57 - 12 = 45

→ 45 = 45

LHS = RHS ⇒ Satisfies the equation

3)  ̶ , +, ×, =, ÷, +

→ 52 - 12 + 15 × 3 = 6 ÷ 5 + 15

→ 52 -  12 +  15 × 3 = 6/5 + 15

→ 52 - 12 + 45 = 6/5 + 15

→ 97 - 12 = 81/5

→ 85 ≠ 81/5

LHS ≠ RHS

4) +,  ̶ , ÷, ×, =, +

→ 52 + 12 - 15 ÷ 3× 6 = 5 + 15

→ 52 + 12 - 5 × 6 =  5 +  15

→ 52 + 12 - 30 =  5 + 15

→ 64 - 30 = 20

→ 34 ≠ 20

LHS ≠ RHS

Hence, the correct answer is " -, +, ÷, =, ×, +".
