Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Part of the definition of a polynomial is that the exponents have to be non-negative integers.  In other words, it cannot have a fraction as an exponent or an imaginary number.  Our polynomial has real non-negative exponents, so it is in fact a polynomial.  The degree is found in the highest exponent of the polynomial.  Ours is a 5th degree.  The leading coefficient is the number stuck to the x that has the highest degree.  Therefore, our leading coefficient is -16.  B is your choice.
