C. Third degree polynomial with three terms.

Terms are, by definition, the number of nonzero coefficients for powers of x. In this case, there are 3 nonzero coefficients (3 terms) because
-1=-1x^0. For example,
2x^3 has one term, but
0 has 0 terms.

The degree of a polynomial is the highest power involved in the expression. In this case, it's
4x^3, so the degree is 3.
