AOne solution
BTwo solutions
CTen solutions
DNo solution
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. No solution
1. Parallel lines never meet.
2. A solution would have to be a point sitting on both lines at once.
3. A system whose graphs are parallel lines has no solution.
4. Such a system is inconsistent and independent.
