Solution
Parallel lines are those straight lines that are always apart from each other at the same distance.
The lines in figure A are intersecting lines as they cross each other at one point.
The lines in figure B are apart from each other at the same distance and, hence, are parallel.
The lines in figure C are also intersecting lines as they cross each other at one point.
Hence, only figure B represents parallel lines.
