Solution

The correct option is C an equation with degree 1
If an equation has the degree as one, then that equation is called a linear equation.

For example, 2x + 1 = 7 is a linear equation where the highest exponent of the variable is one.

An equation can have more than two terms and more than one variable.
Eg: $4 x + 5 y + 6 = 0$
