Select the correct alternative from the answers of the question given below.

How many lines are determined by three distinct points?

Since we know that three distinct points can either be collinear or non-collinear. Further, 3 collinear points can form one line and 3 non-collinear points can form a triangle (quadrilateral with three sides) and hence three lines.

Therefore, one or three lines can be determined by three distinct points.


So, the correct option is C.
