The true statement is C. There are two terms: 2 and 3x

A. is false because 2 + 3x is a sum, not a product (we are adding the two terms)

B. is false because the coefficient of the x is the number multiplying the x, and 2 is being added to 3x, and is not multiplying the x. The coefficient in this case is 3.

C. Is true because the terms in a mathematical expression are the element separated by a "+" or a "-" In this case, 2 and 3x are separated by a "+"

D. is false because a quotient is a division, in this case there is no division.
