I'm assuming you are talking about polynomials.
For example, I have x^2 + 2x + 1, and I want to add 2x^2 + x + 2
Then the like terms here are:
x^2 and 2x^2, 2x and x, 1 and 2, they are quadratic, linear and constant, respectively.
Try B...because the points meet at a intersection
Given t = time and h = height

From the equation.

h is the axis od symmetry
(h, k) is the vertex.
In the equation, h is 1 and k is 16.
So the maximum value is 16 at t = 1.
The ball reaches maximum at 16 and it takes t = 1 to reach the maximum point.
