1. The problem asks to determine how many terms the expression $xyz$ has and whether Greg's reasoning about the number of terms is correct.
2. Recall that in algebra, a term is a part of an expression separated by plus ($+$) or minus ($-$) signs. Multiplication does not separate terms; it combines factors within a single term.
3. The expression $xyz$ has no plus or minus signs, so it consists of only one term, which is the product of the variables $x$, $y$, and $z$.
4. Greg's reasoning that each variable is a separate term is incorrect because terms are separated by addition or subtraction, not by multiplication.
5. Therefore, the correct answer is:
$$\text{C. Greg is not correct. The expression } xyz \text{ has one term, } xyz. \text{ It is the only term because there are no other parts separated by a plus or minus sign.}$$
