Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Choice A is the correct answer because it correctly identifies the number of terms in the expression, lists each term correctly, and provides the correct coefficient for each term. Choice B only includes three terms instead of four, and choice C has the incorrect coefficient for the last term. Choice D includes a term with a positive coefficient, which is not present in the original expression. Therefore, choice A is the best answer.
