Solution

The correct option is A

Intersecting lines


Intersecting lines:

Any two distinct lines that meet at a common point are called intersecting lines.

Consider two distinct lines l1 and l2.

The two distinct lines l1 and l2 meet at a common point, P.

Parallel lines:

Any two distinct lines that do not intersect each other in a plane and whose distance between them is equal are called parallel lines.

Consider two distinct lines l1 and l2.

The two distinct lines l1 and l2 are parallel.

Perpendicular lines:

Any two distinct lines that intersect each other at a right angle are called perpendicular lines.

Consider two distinct lines l1 and l2.

The two distinct lines l1 and l2 are perpendicular to each other.

Therefore, from the given options, we can conclude that the two distinct lines that meet at a common point are called intersecting lines.

Hence, two distinct lines meeting at a point are called intersecting lines.
