Like terms are terms with exacly the same variables, no matter their order (multiplication is commutative), and the same values for the exponents. In the question, -3xym and 4myx are like terms: both have m, x and y, all with exponent 1.

-3xym and 4myx share 3 factors, the others only 2. There could be other answers based on undisclosed subjective criteria, but I can't think of any.
