An expression is shown:

\[ 89 - (23 + 9) \times 3 \]

Which statement describes this expression?

A. 89 minus triple the difference of 23 and 9.
B. 89 minus triple the product of 23 and 9.
C. Half the sum of 23 and 9 minus 89.
D. Triple the sum of 23 and 9 subtracted from 89.

We see that answers C and D mention the sum of 23 and 9. Answer C says half the sum of 23 and 9 minus 89. There is no -89 in the problem, so this is incorrect.

Therefore, the answer is D. triple sum of 23 and 9 subtracted from 89.
