Final answer:

The given equation implies a relationship between two angles that could suggest parallel lines if they are alternate interior angles. However, due to lack of context and potential typographical errors in line naming, no definitive answer about parallel lines can be provided.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question provided presents an equation, M<14+M<3=180°, which suggests a relationship between two angles that possibly correspond to a pair of alternate interior angles created when a transversal intersects two lines. According to the properties of parallel lines, if a pair of alternate interior angles are equal, the lines cut by the transversal must be parallel. Since the sum of these angles equals 180°, reminiscent of a straight line, it is possible that we are dealing with a pair of alternate interior angles which would indicate that the lines are parallel. However, the information given in the question does not specifically confirm this scenario, nor provides enough context to identify which specific lines might be parallel based on the equation alone. As there are not enough details regarding the actual position and orientation of lines 14, 3, M, and 180, no definitive conclusion can be made to correctly identify which lines may be parallel. Option 2 and Option 4 imply that there is a line named '180', which does not make sense in standard geometric nomenclature. The question seems to have a typographical error or be incomplete, making it impossible to accurately determine which lines are parallel.
