Answer
A
4 m and 3 n

negative 9 and 3 n
C
4 m and negative 9
D
negative 9 and 2

Explanation

Like terms have the same variable part, or are both constants. In 4m - 9 + 3n + 2, -9 and 2 are both constants, so they are like terms. The terms with m and n are not like terms because they have different variables.
