 B) 3+y+3

This can be simplified to y+6, but the current un-simplified expression has 3 terms.

Explanation:

Terms are separated by a plus sign. If you had something like 10x-5y, then you would write that as 10x+(-5y) showing that 10x and -5y are the two terms.

Choices A and C, xy and 6y respectively, have one term each. They are considered monomials. Mono = one, nomial = name.

Choice D is the product of the constant 3 and the binomial y+3. Binomials have two terms.

Only choice B has three terms, though we can simplify it down to two terms. I have a feeling your teacher doesn't want you to simplify it.
