Hi

The greatest coefficient is 4 th term option b

We know that the formula for greatest coefficient is

If we consider n = 8

Then there are n+1 terms.

Here there 9 terms as there are odd number of terms the term with greatest coefficient is n/2 th term.

here n/2 = 4

Hence 4th term's coefficient is greatest.
