Final answer:

The polynomial that is of the fourth degree is option D. (4a³).

Step-by-step explanation:

The polynomial that is of the fourth degree is option D. (4a³).

A polynomial is an expression that consists of variables, coefficients, and exponents, and the degree of a polynomial is determined by the highest exponent of the variables. In option D, the exponent of a is 3, which means the degree of the polynomial is 3.

So, the answer is that none of the given options represents a polynomial of the fourth degree.
