Answer:

Option: d is the correct answer

d. They are contained in multiple planes.

Explanation:

Since, the three points are collinear.

This means that there is a line which pass through these three given points and as we know that a line always lie in a plane so all the three points will be coplanar and there may be multiple planes which contain a line.

Also, a triangle is formed with the help of three non-collinear points.

Hence, the correct option is:

Option: d
