A. 1
B. 2
C. 3
D. 4

y=A x+A^{3}
let us find the differential equation representing it so we have to eliminate
the constant A
Differentiate with respect to x
$$ \Rightarrow \frac{\mathrm{dy}}{\mathrm{dx}}=\mathrm{A}
Put back value of A in y
\Rightarrow \mathrm{y}=\frac{\mathrm{dy}}{\mathrm{dx}} \mathrm{x}+\left(\frac{\mathrm{dy}}{\mathrm{dx}}\right)^{3}

Now for the degree to exit the differential equation must be a polynomial in some differentials.
Here the differentials mean
\frac{\mathrm{dy}}{\mathrm{dx}}$ or $\frac{\mathrm{d}^{2} \mathrm{y}}{\mathrm{dx}^{2}}$ or $\ldots \frac{\mathrm{d}^{\mathrm{n}} \mathrm{y}}{\mathrm{dx}^{\mathrm{n}}}
The given differential equation is polynomial in differentials
\frac{\mathrm{dy}}{\mathrm{dx}}
Degree of differential equation is the highest integer power of the highest order derivative in the equation.
Highest derivative is
\frac{\mathrm{dy}}{\mathrm{dx}}
And highest power to it is  3 .  Hence degree is 3 .

Option C is correct.
