Answer: A. 4

The largest exponent in the polynomial tells us the max number of roots, x intercepts, or zeroes of the function. In this case, that happens to be 4. This is the degree of the polynomial. It is considered a quartic polynomial. It is also a trinomial since it has 3 terms (3x^4, x^2 and 1)
