Choice A is a trinomial, but it doesn't have a constant term

Choice D is the only other trinomial. This has a constant term, which is 6. The constant is the term without any variables attached to it.

Answer: Choice D

Answer: D.
x+7y+6

Explanation:

We know that a trinomial is a polynomial with three terms.

From all the given options, only option A.
x^3+12x^2+x and option D.
x+7y+6 are trinomials having three terms .

But option A
x^3+12x^2+x does not have any constant term .

On the other hand option D.
x+7y+6 has a constant term of 6.

Therefore, the option D.
x+7y+6 represents a trinomial with a constant term.
