Answer

The given expression is a polynomial of degree $0.$

Work Step by Step

A monomial is an expression of the form $ax^{k}$, where $x$ is the variable, the exponent $k$, a nonnegative integer, is the degree, and $a$ is the coefficient of the term. A polynomial expression is either a single monomial or a SUM of several monomials. The degree of the polynomial is the degree of the monomial with the highest degree. The given expression is a single monomial as it can be written as $5x^{0}$, with a degree of $0$. Thus, the given expression is a polynomial of degree $0.$
