Solution

The correct option is B $9$
After writing the $9 x^{9} + 8 x^{8} + 10 x^{0}$ we can see that the power of the first term is $9$ , the power of the second term is $8$ and the power of the third term is $0$ . Since the polynomial has the largest exponent, that is $9$ which is the degree of the polynomial.

Hence, the degree of the polynomial is $9$ .
