    A.-12x^2-5x-102

    Step-by-step explanation:

    We are given a polynomial of degree 2 where terms are not grouped and simplified.

    We have

    -21x^2+22x^2-13x^2-10x+5x-102

    To get this in proper form we have to group the like terms first

    x^2 term = - 21x^2+22x^2-13x^2 = x^2 (-21+22-13)

    = x^2 (-34+22) = - 12x^2

    x terms are - 10x+5x = x (-10+5) = - 5x

    Constant term is only one = - 102

    Hence the polynomial in simplified form is

    -12x^2-5x-102
