Solution

The correct option is A
$12 x, x$

The terms which have the same variable raised to the same power but may only differ in numerical coefficient are called like terms.

For example:

$(i) 3 m a n d - 7 m are like terms.$

$(i i) z a n d \frac{3}{2} z are like terms.$

So, among the given set of terms,
$12 x a n d x are like terms.$
