A.
2x3 + 5x2 - 3x + 1:
This polynomial has four terms, with the highest degree term being 2x^3. It also has a leading coefficient of 2. Therefore, option A is a 3rd degree polynomial with 4 terms and a leading coefficient of 2.
B.
3x4 - 2x3 + 4x2 - 1:
This polynomial has four terms, but the highest degree term is 3x^4, which is a 4th degree term instead of a 3rd degree term. Therefore, option B is not a 3rd degree polynomial with 4 terms and a leading coefficient of 2.
C.
