Solution

The correct option is A 12
The degree is the value of the greatest exponent of any expression (except the constant) in the polynomial.
Given,
$x^{9} - x^{4} + x^{12} + x - 2$
Since there are 4 terms $x^{9} - x^{4} + x^{12} + x - 2$ , this is a polynomial and has the highest degree $x^{12}$ of all the terms.
Therefore,
Degree is $12$
