Answer: (B)

Verified step by step guidance

1. Identify each term given in the problem. The terms are constants: \(-6\) and \$1$.
2. Recall that the degree of a term is the sum of the exponents of the variables in that term. If there are no variables, the term is a constant.
3. Since both \(-6\) and \$1\( are constants with no variables, their degree is \)0\( because constants can be thought of as having variables raised to the zero power (e.g., \)x^{0} = 1$).
4. Therefore, the degree of the term \(-6\) is \$0\(, and the degree of the term \)1\( is also \)0$.
5. Note that the sign or coefficient of a constant does not affect its degree; only the presence and exponents of variables matter.
