The sum of the 1st digit from the left (7) and the 7th digit from the right (5) is 7 + 5 = 12.
A: 10 is incorrect. B: 14 is incorrect. D: 13 is incorrect. Only 12 (Option C) is the correct sum.
C is correct because the 1st digit from the left is 7 and the 7th digit from the right is 5, making their sum 12.
