The given expression \(-c\) is indeed a polynomial.
Polynomials are expressions consisting of variables raised to non-negative integer powers with coefficients. In this case, \(-c\) can be considered as a polynomial of the form \(0 \cdot x^n + \ldots + (-1)c\), where it is a constant term (the coefficient of \(c\) is \(-1\), and it can be thought of as \(c x^0\) where the power is 0).
Since it doesn't have a variable part, we classify it as a constant polynomial.
Here’s how you can phrase the answer:
The given expression ______ a polynomial
**A. Represents**
It's a polynomial of type constant with a degree of 0.
