Hi, there.

______

Let me start by defining a binomial.

A binomial is an expression with 2 terms. These could be variables, constants, they could have any exponents, but as long as that expression has 2 terms, it's considered a binomial.

Of the 4 choices provided, which one shows an expression with 2 terms?

Only C.
\boldsymbol{\it{x^2-4}}

Hope the answer - and explanation - made sense,

happy studying!!!
