Option D is the correct choice as it correctly determines the number of terms, writes down each term, and writes down the corresponding coefficient for each term. Option A and B incorrectly write down -5 instead of +5. Option C incorrectly determines that there are only 2 terms (missing out the constant term).

For the Expression, A) Determine the Number of Terms; B) 7a2−6a+57 a ^ { 2 } - 6 a + 57a2−6a+5

For the Expression,
A) Determine the Number of Terms;
B) $7 a ^ { 2 } - 6 a + 5$
