Which statement best describes the equation x5 + x3 – 14 = 0?

A
The equation is quadratic in form because it is a fifth-degree polynomial.
B
The equation is quadratic in form because the difference of the exponent of the lead term and the exponent of the middle term is 2.
C
The equation is not quadratic in form because it cannot be rewritten as a second-degree polynomial.
D
The equation is not quadratic in form because the exponent of the lead term is not the square of the exponent of the middle term.
