Answer:
The correct answer is option (c)
Step-by-step explanation:
Like terms are those terms in which the same variables are present in the terms and all the variables should have the same exponents also.
In the first option,
One term is with variable 'p' and the other term is the constant term
Hence, the two terms are not like terms.
In the second option,
One term is with variable 'pq' and the other term is with variable 'p'.
Hence, the two terms are not like terms.
In the third option,
Both the terms are with variable 'pq'
Hence, the two terms are like terms.
In the fourth option,
Both the variable have not with same exponents
Hence, the two terms are not like terms.
