Solution

The correct answer is F

Like terms contain the same variables raised to the same power.
To check the whether the given expressions are same, we can simplify the two given expressions.
2xy+4x2+5xy+5y2+16x2

Add the like terms,
2xy,5xy are like terms. Similarly, 4x2 and 16x2 are like terms.
2xy+5xy=7xy and 4x2+16x2=20x2

2xy+4x2+5xy+5y2+16x2
= 20x2+5y2+7xy
It is very clear that 20x2+5y2+7xy is not equal to 4xy+9x2+16y2
