B Correct answer
Explanation

$\cfrac { { x^{ 3 }+2x+1 } }{ 5 } -\cfrac { 7 }{ 2 } x^ 2-x^ 6$
$=\cfrac { { x^{ 3 }+2x+1 } }{ 5 } -\cfrac { 7 }{ 2 } x^ 2-x^ 6$
$=-x^ 6+\cfrac { x^{ 3 } }{ 5 } -\cfrac { 7x^ 2 }{ 2 } +\cfrac { 2x }{ 5 } +\cfrac { 1 }{ 5 }$
So, the constant term= $\cfrac { 1 }{ 5 }$

A Correct answer
Explanation

A polynomial in one variable must have non-negative integer exponents for the variable. Option A (x + 2/3 + 3) is a polynomial in x, whereas the others involve square roots of variables or multiple variables.
