Answer:

x + 9y²

Explanation:

A prime polynomial is simply an irreducible polynomial.

x + 9y² is a prime polynomial

First, we test the options.

x + 9y²

The above function cannot be reduced further.

Hence, x + 9y² is a prime polynomial

3m + 9n

Factor out 3

3 (m + 3n)

3m + 9n is not a prime because it can be factored as 3 (m + 3n)

8x^7 - 9x + 12x²

Factor out x

x(8x^6 - 9 + 12x)

8x^7 - 9x + 12x² is not a prime because it can be factored as x(8x^6 - 9 + 12x)

Hence, x + 9y² is a prime polynomial
