This expression is a polynomial  relative to variable  "c".


It  is not a polynomial  relative to variable  "b".


Relative "c",  it is a polynomial of the degree 4.


The words (the terms) "the type of the polynomial" are not defined as a universal term for polynomials.

When used, it may depend on a context.


Since a context is not given and is not clear from the post, this request is UNDEFINED.
