The answer is:

The polynomial have 3 terms. (it's a trinomial).

A polynomial is an expression which consists of one or more terms (numbers or variables) being added or subtracted.

So, we are given the polynomial:

x^(2) +xy-y^(2)

We have that there are three terms separated by differents being added and subtracted, so, the polynomial has 3 terms, and it's a trinomial.

Have a nice day!
