In the algebraic term, there are a number and a variable, the number is called the coefficient of the variable

EX: 2x is an algebraic term, where 2 is the coefficient of x

In the given polynomial


x^3+(1)/(3)x^4+6x+5

There are 4 algebraic terms


\begin{gathered} x^3 \\ (1)/(3)x^4 \\ 6x \\ 5 \end{gathered}

The coefficient of each term in the number before the variable

If there is no number that means the coefficient is 1

Since there is no number before x^3, then

Its coefficient is 1

The answer is D
