Answer:

7x^5 + 2x^2 + 6

Explanation:

"Fifth degree" means there will be a term with an exponent of 5 and that will be the largest exponent in the expression.

"Leading coefficient of 7" means the highest-degree term will be 7x^5.

"A constant of 6" means the lowest-degree term will be +6.

The description means the expression will look like ...

7x^5 + <terms of lower degree> + 6

The answer choice shown above matches this description.
