The expression given is simply the number 7, which is a constant term. In the context of polynomials, a constant term is considered a monomial because it can be thought of as a variable raised to the 0 power (anything to the 0 power is 1, so the variable essentially "disappears"). Therefore, the expression is a monomial.
