D

Explanation:

The coefficient is the number in front of the variable. the number in front of the second variable is 2, not 2m

Answer:

D

Explanation:

A coefficient is the number before a variable. The D statement isn't true because the coefficient would be 2 instead of 2m. 2m would be the whole term.
