c. 3

Each expression is made up of terms. A term can be a signed number, a variable, or a constant multiplied by a variable or variables. Each term in an algebraic expression is separated by a + sign or J sign. ... When a term is made up of a constant multiplied by a variable or variables, that constant is called a coefficient.

Answer:

There are 3 terms in the given expression. Option(c)

Explanation:

Given expression is:

3x²y⁴z - 6xy - 3z(5x²)

Here number or variable multiplied with variable before the operator (like +, - etc) that is called the one term in the expression.

From given expression:

First term is : 3x²y⁴z

Second term is : 6xy

Third term is : 3z(5x²) = 15zx²

So, there are total three terms in the given expression.

That's the final answer.
