Solution
The correct option is D Infinitely many Suppose, we have two parallel lines d and e. The lines can be extended on either sides indefinitely. Hence, we can draw infinitely many transversals that cut the lines at two distinct points. In the figure, we have 3 transversals. Number of transversals can increase upto infinity.
The number of transversals that can be drawn to two distinct lines are infinitely many.
