Which of the following is a coefficient in the algebraic expression:12p5 + r-16?O A. 12O B. PO c.O D. 5

Given
[tex]12p^5+r-16[/tex]A Coefficient is a number used to multiply a variable.
Example: 6z means 6 times z, and "z" is a variable, so 6 is a coefficient.
[tex]\begin{gathered} 12\text{ }\times p^5 \\ 1\times r \end{gathered}[/tex]12 is a coefficient
1 is a coefficient
Since, 1 is not in the option then 12 is the correct answer
The final answer
Option A
