Solution

The correct option is D
Infinite points, between the rays PA and PB

To locate points which are equidistant from P and at a distance 'd', take a compass, with P as centre and radius as 'd', draw an arc which cuts the rays PA and PB at C and D as shown.

Now, all the points on this arc CD are at a distance 'd' from P and hence they fall into our solution domain.

Hence the number of such points are infinite.
