Answer:

C.) Zero

Explanation:

The answer is Zero because parallel lines never intersect, and where they intersect would be a solution.

Answer:

Number of solutions are exist when lines are parallel is = zero.

Option C

Explanation:

Given two lines,

Case 1: If lines are intersect.

One and only one solution that is intersection point of lines.

Case 2: Collinear lines or represent same line.

In this case there are so many solutions (infinite solutions)

Case 3: Both lines are parallel.

They never intersects, So no solution is exist. Zero solution

So, zero is answer.

That's the final answer.
