Answer:


\large\boxed{\mathtt{Option \ B. \ 3x^(2)+3xy+3}}

Explanation:


\textsf{For this problem, we are asked to identify which polynomial has no like terms.}


\Large\underline{\textsf{What are Like Terms?}}


\textsf{Like terms are 2 or more values that have \underline{similar numbers, variables, and/or exponents}.}


\large\underline{\textsf{Examples;}}


\textsf{8y and 3y are like terms.}


\textsf{4 and 6x are not like terms.}


\mathtt{3x^(2) \ and \ 4x^(2) \ are \ like \ terms.}


\textsf{4xy and 3wx are not like terms.}


\underline{\textsf{Option A.}}


\mathtt{2x+5-3x+2xy}


\textsf{2x and -3x are like terms. A is incorrect.}


\underline{\textsf{Option B.}}


\mathtt{3x^(2)+3xy+3}


\textsf{There are no like terms. Option B is correct.}


\underline{\textsf{Option C.}}


\mathtt{4 -9x+9y+3}


\textsf{4 and 3 are like terms. C is incorrect.}


\underline{\textsf{Option D.}}


\mathtt{-4a^(3)+5b-2a^(2)+7b}


\textsf{5b and 7b are like terms. D is incorrect.}
