Answer:

D

Explanation:

A polynomial in standard form has the terms in ascending order.

In other words, the term with the largest degree is on the left, followed by the term with the second largest degree, etc.

The largest term in this polynomial is 2x³. Thus, we need to start with that.

The only choice that starts with 2x³ is choice D.

Thus, choice D is in standard form.

And examining choice D, we see that it is in ascending order all the way through.
