Given sum has the highest degree of FOUR as y has the highest exponent 4
Explanation:
The degree of a polynomial is the highest degree of its monomials (individual terms) with non-zero coefficients.
The degree of a term is the sum of the exponents of the variables that appear in it, and thus is a non-negative integer.
