What do you think the answer is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

By process of elimination, you can determine that X=Offices, so therefore, A is incorrect. X+8=departments, therefore B is incorrect. X+4 is the number of People in each department, so therefore, C is correct. If i'm correct, D shows you how many people are there In total, rather than each department individually.

Okay, so terms are the variables and their coefficient. So, I. would be a binomial, II. Trinomial, III. Quadrilateral, and IV. Monomial. Are you able to organize them from that or do you need more help with it?
