The correct option is B 3
The highest degree amongst the degrees of the different terms of an algebraic expression is called the degree of the expression.
In the expression, 7x2−24xy2+9x−2y2,
The degree of 7x2 is 2,
degree of −24xy2 is 1 + 2 = 3,
degree of 9x is 1,
and degree of −2y2 is 2.
So, the highest degree of the expression is 3.
