**Question:** Which of the following polynomials is a monomial?

- \(15x^3y - 15x + 7y^4x^3\)
- \(16x + 25\)
- \(5x^4 + a^6 + 5abcx - 10m\)
- \(-21a^3b^7\)

**Explanation:** 

This is a multiple-choice question asking which expression is a monomial. 

- A **monomial** is a polynomial with only one term. This term must be a product of constants and variables with whole number exponents and no addition or subtraction should be present among the terms.

The options presented include a variety of polynomials, and the correct choice is \(-21a^3b^7\), as it consists of a single term.
