Solution

The correct option is C Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A)
The highest power of the variable is degree of a polynomial.
And for the given polynomial, 7 is the highest power, hence 7 is the degree as well.
Therefore both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A)
