MCQ
Degree of the zero polynomial is:
  • A
    $1$
  • B
    $0$
  • Not defined.
  • D
    Non of these.

Answer

Correct option: C.
Not defined.
A polynomial consisting of one term, namely zero only, is called a zero polynomial.
So, a zero polynomial can be defined as $p(x) = 0.$
This can also be written as $p(x) = 0 = 0x = 0x^2 = 0x^3$ and so on.
So, it is not possible to determine the degree.
Hence, the degree of a zero polynomial is not defined.
