  • AYes, every constant has degree 0
  • BNo, the zero polynomial has degree undefined (not defined)
  • CNo, its degree is 1
  • DYes, but only when written as

Step-by-Step Solution

Non-zero constants have degree 0, but the zero polynomial is a special case whose degree is not defined. So Meera is wrong.
Answer: B) No, the zero polynomial has degree undefined (not defined)
