1. **State the problem:** We need to evaluate each of the four expressions and find their values.
2. **Recall order of operations:** Use PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division from left to right, Addition and Subtraction from left to right).

**Expression 1:** $8 + 4^2 \div 2$
3. Calculate the exponent: $4^2 = 16$
4. Substitute: $8 + 16 \div 2$
5. Division first: $16 \div 2 = 8$
6. Add: $8 + 8 = 16$
---
**Expression 2:** $3 \cdot 8 - 10 + 1$
7. Multiply: $3 \cdot 8 = 24$
8. Substitute: $24 - 10 + 1$
9. Subtract and add from left to right: $24 - 10 = 14$
10. Then $14 + 1 = 15$
---
**Expression 3:** $15 - 9 \div (8 - 5)$
11. Calculate inside parentheses: $8 - 5 = 3$
12. Substitute: $15 - 9 \div 3$
13. Division first: $9 \div 3 = 3$
14. Subtract: $15 - 3 = 12$
---
**Expression 4:** $5^2 - 10 \div 5$
15. Calculate exponent: $5^2 = 25$
16. Substitute: $25 - 10 \div 5$
17. Division first: $10 \div 5 = 2$
18. Subtract: $25 - 2 = 23$
---
**Final answers:**
- Expression 1 = 16 (Choice C)
- Expression 2 = 15 (Choice D)
- Expression 3 = 12 (Choice A)
- Expression 4 = 23 (Choice H)
