Solution

The correct option is A

12x,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) 3m and 7m are like terms.

(ii)z and 32z are like terms.

So, among the given set of terms,
12x and x are like terms.
