Answer
2x^2, 7x, 4
Explanation
The terms of the expression are the sums or differences separated by addition or subtraction signs in a polynomial equation. In this given expression, 2x^2, 7x and 4 are separately due to the plus (+) sign which appears, so they are all terms of the expression 2x^2+7x+4. Therefore, the options of 2x^2, 7x and 4 are the terms of the expression 2x^2+7x+4. The 2x and 7 are not distinct terms of the given expression; they might be parts of terms but considered alone, they are not complete terms. So, we leave out 2x and 7 from the answer.
