Answer:

Option: D is the correct answer.

D. it is not possible to determine

Explanation:

We know that a binomial is a polynomial with two terms and the polynomial may be of any degree and may contain at most 4 terms i.e. it may be a binomial, trinomial or a polynomial with four terms.

a)


(x-2)(x+4)=x^2+2x-8

We get a trinomial

b)


(x^2-4)(x^3+1)=x^5+x^2-4x^3-4

Hence, we get a polynomial with four terms.

c)


(x-1)(x+1)=x^2-1

Now we got a binomial.

Hence, the best possible answer is:

D. it is not possible to determine
