Solution

The correct option is C These are not like terms.
In the terms $4 x^{2} y$ and $3 x y^{2}$ , unknown variables are the same.

The exponent of $x$ in the 1st term is 2 whereas in the 2nd term exponent of the same variable is 1. So, these are not like terms.

Further, the exponent of $y$ in the 1st and 2nd terms are 1 and 2 respectively. As they are not the same, these terms are not like terms.
