Solution

The correct option is C $0$
The polynomial $p (x) = 5$ is a constant polynomial. The standard form of the polynomial is:

$p (x) = 5 x^{0}$
In the polynomial, $p (x) = 5 x^{0}$ , the power of the first term is $0$ . Since the polynomial has the largest exponent, that is $0$ which is the degree of the polynomial.

Hence, the degree of the polynomial is $0$ .
