Answer:

The correct option is;

1

Explanation:

A line in geometry is an array of points that lay on the path of a ray and extends along the ray path in both directions infinitely, while a point in geometry marks a location

Therefore, given that the points A and B are on the same line, and are therefore on the same ray that gives the direction of the line, the number of distinct lines that can contain the both A and B, given that the original line extends to infinity in both direction is 1.
