The answer is: [B]: may.
______________________________________________

Plane ABC and Plane BCE MAY be the same plane.
_____________________________________________
Note: We can still determine the answer WITHOUT an illustration.
______________________________________________
Step-by-step explanation:
__________________________________Note that: Two (2) points) determine a line; whereas three (3) points determine a plane.
→ As such, Plane ABC and Plane BCE MAY be the same plane. This would be the case if "Point E" is on Plane ABC. {That is to say, if "Point A" is on Plane BCE }.

→This would be the only "circumstance".
___________________________________________
→ Hence the answer is: [B]: may.
______________________________
Answer choice: [A]: "must" ; is incorrect.
It is clearly INCORRECT to say that:
"Plane ABC and Plane BCE "must" be the same plane._____________________________
Answer choice: [C]: "cannot" is clearly incorrect.
As per the example explained above, it is clearly INCORRECT to say that:
""Plane ABC and Plane BCE "cannot" be the same plane.
