Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

we know that

If a system has two parallel lines (have the same slope) with different y-intercepts, then the system has no solution because the lines don't intersect and it is said to be inconsistent independent system

therefore

An inconsistent, independent system of equations is a system with intersecting lines that have the same slope but different y-intercepts
