• A. $a^2,b^2,-2a^2,c^2,4a$
• B. $3a,4xy,-yz,2zy$
• C. $-2x{y}^2,x^{2}y,5y^{2}x,x^{2}z$
• D. $7p,8pq,-5pq,-2p,3p$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $3a,4xy,-yz,2zy$

In first part

The like terms are $a^2,b^2,-2a^2,c^2$

In second part

like terms are $4xy,-yz,2zy$

In third part

Like terms are $-2x{y}^2,x^{2}y,5y^{2}x,x^{2}z$

In fourth part

Like terms are $7p,-2p,3p$ and $8pq,-5pq$
