Correct question is;

A polynomial contains _____ number of terms

Answer:

(n + 1)

Where n is the degree of the polynomial

Explanation:

Now, for a polynomial that has degree of n = 1, the number of terms it will have is 2.

Similarly, a polynomial that has degree of n = 2, the number of terms it will have is 3.

This means from the above, we can deduce that the number of terms in a polynomial with degree "n" is n + 1.

We can therefore conclude that a polynomial can have any finite number of terms as n + 1
