Explanation:

Let's transform the digits of the number 96235741 based on the given rules:

- For even digits:

- 6 + 2 = 8

- 2 + 2 = 4

- 4 + 2 = 6

- For odd digits:

- 9 - 1 = 8

- 3 - 1 = 2

- 5 - 1 = 4

- 7 - 1 = 6

- 1 - 1 = 0

The transformed number is 84624660.

Now, identify the required digits:

- 5th from the left: 4

- 3rd from the right: 6

Calculate the product:

- 4 * 6 = 24

Therefore, the correct option is:

- Option 3: 24
