D. The two expressions are equal to each other.
To compare the two expressions without doing any calculations, we can simplify both expressions:
Expression A is (34 + 25) ÷ 14, which simplifies to 59 ÷ 14.
Expression B is 34 + 25, which simplifies to 59.
Comparing the simplified expressions, we can see that 59 ÷ 14 is less than 59.
Therefore, the statement "Expression B is 4 times as great as expression A" is true.
The correct answer is B.
