C is not a polynomial, it is a monomial. Polynomial generally refers to having more terms that 2 or 3 (because after that the names get confusing lol), although technically binomials and above are polynomials. But yes the exponents do need to be integers.

monomial, binomial, trinomial, polynomial

Any number alone (like 5) is a monomial.
