The given statement is false.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
A binomial can have a degree of zero
Calculation:
A binomial has two terms. If the degree of a binomial is zero, then it becomes a constant because anything power zero is 1.
So, the binomial cannot have a degree of zero.
Thus, the given statement is false.
