Solution

The correct option is B

i


Polynomials cannot have variables with exponents as negative integers.
Hence,
4x1 and 2x22x are not polynomials as the variable 'x' has (-1) as the exponent.

x2+4 has the variable x, the power of the variable is a positive integer 2 , a constant term 4 and the operator '+'.
Hence, x2+4 is a polynomial.
