Step-by-step explanation:

A monomial is a polynomial that has only one term.

A binomial is a polynomial that has 2 terms

A trinomial is a plolynomial that has 3 terms.

This one has 2 terms, so it's definitely a binomial

The degree of a polynomial is given by the highest power of all terms. If a term has 2 different variables, the degree of that term is the sum of the powers of the variables:

7xy --> degree 2

-15y³ --> degree 3

Therefore, the degree is 3

Answer:

a. binomial with the degree of 3
