Answer:

The algebraic expression which is a difference of two terms is:

B. 5y-7

We know that any algebraic expression is a difference of two terms if there are two terms in an expression which are separated by a subtraction sign.

A)

3y+1

In this expression we have two terms 3y and 1 which are separated by a addition sign.

Hence, option: A is incorrect.

B)

5y-7

In this expression we have two terms as 5y and 7 which are separated by a negative sign or a subtraction sign.

Hence, option: B is correct.

C)

-2y+5+3

In this expression we have three terms "2y", "5" and "3"

Hence, this option is incorrect.

D)

5(y-6)

Here we have two terms 5 and (y-6) which are separated by a multiplication sign.

Hence, option: D is incorrect.
