Step-by-Step Solution

  1. The order of a differential equation is the highest order derivative present in the equation. In this case, it is 2 (from \(\frac{d^{2}y}{dx^{2}}\)).
  2. The degree of a differential equation is the power of the highest order derivative, provided the equation is a polynomial equation in its derivatives. Here, the highest order derivative is \(\frac{d^{2}y}{dx^{2}}\), and its power is 1.
  3. The sum of the order and degree is 2 + 1 = 3.

Correct Answer: 3
