Solution

The correct option is B No

In the 1st term, $16 p^{3}$ , the unknown variable $p$ has a exponent of 3.

In the 2nd term, $- 3 p^{16}$ , the unknown variable $p$ has a exponent of 16.

As exponent of unknown variable for the the terms are different, i.e., $3 \neq 16$ , these are not like terms.
