Answer:

The answer to your question is: 3, letter C

Explanation:

Leading coefficient is the coefficient that is written in front of the variable with the highest power.

7x + 10x² + 3x³ − 5

In this polynomial the term with the highest power is 3, so the coefficient that is in front of the variable with this power is also 3.
