The tonic note is the first degree of a scale. To determine the tonic note, you need to know the specific scale being referred to. Each scale has a unique pattern of intervals between the notes. In the context of a major scale, for example, the tonic note is the first note of the scale and sets the tonal center for the rest of the scale. So, the correct answer is "the first degree."
