Answer:

(C) 1

Explanation:

The given polynomial is:


x^3+(1)/(3)x^4+6x+5

We have to find the power of the term with the coefficient of 6, here the term whose coefficient is 6 is
6x.

Thus, x is the variable in the given term of the polynomial given and the power of the variable is one, therefore 1 is the power of the term with the coefficient of 6.

Thus, option (C) is correct.
