D Correct answer
Explanation

This is a mathematical pattern puzzle. Looking at the pattern: 2+3=10 means (2+3)×2=10 (or 2×3 + 2×2). 5+2=35 means (5+2)×5=35 (or 5×2 + 5×5). 7+5=84 means (7+5)×7=84. The pattern is (a+b)×a = result. So 12+18 = (12+18)×12 = 30×12 = 360. Option D (360) matches this pattern.
