O A. Skew lines cannot lie in the same plane.
O B. Skew lines are perpendicular.
O C. Skew lines can lie in the same plane.
D. Skew lines

​

Answer 1

A. Skew lines cannot lie in the same plane.

Explanation:

(*Which)

Skew Line Definition (from Wikipedia): "In three-dimensional geometry, skew lines are two lines that do not intersect and are not parallel." -Wikipedia

"Two lines that both lie in the same plane must either cross each other or be parallel, so skew lines can exist only in three or more dimensions." -Wikipedia

Skew lines cannot lie in the same plane so A is correct and C is incorrect.

B and D are incorrect because our friend Wikipedia just said it was incorrect.
