Solution

The correct option is B False
A polynomial is an expression of more than two algebraic terms, especially the sum of several terms that contain different powers of the same variable whereas a binomial is an algebraic expression of the sum or the difference of two terms.

For example, in the expression 3x2+4x+5, we have the sum of the terms 3x2,4x and 5x0 having same variable x with different powers 0,1 and 2 and therefore it is a polynomial but it is not a binomial because a binomial consists only two terms.

For instance, 3x2+5 is an example of a polynomial which is also a binomial.

Hence, every polynomial is not a binomial.
