Answer 2

First, deal with the multiplication.

Example:
If you have 5 * 6, or 7 * x, or xy, in each of these expressions, you have a multiplication of two factors.

The same way, in your problem, you are multiplying two factors.
One factor is 7 + y, and the other factor is 9.

Now that we have dealt with the multiplication part, we look at the factor 7 + y.
This factor is a polynomial of two terms.

Now put the two parts together and match it to one of the choices.
