Given


12p^5+r-16

A Coefficient is a number used to multiply a variable.

Example: 6z means 6 times z, and "z" is a variable, so 6 is a coefficient.


\begin{gathered} 12\text{ }* p^5 \\ 1* r \end{gathered}

12 is a coefficient

1 is a coefficient

Since, 1 is not in the option then 12 is the correct answer

The final answer

Option A
