Like terms have the same number, and variables.

A is correct since it has one number and two variables of x and y.

B is wrong since 7 doesn’t have xy at the end like 2xy does.

C is wrong since -3 doesn’t have xy at the end like 5xt does.

D is right since 7 and -3 are by themselves with no variables.

Best of Luck!
