(d) A circle can have more than two parallel tangents. parallel to a given line.

Answer: (d) A circle can have more than two parallel tangents. parallel to a given line.

Sol:

A circle can have more than two parallel tangents. parallel to a given line.

This statement is false because there can only be two parallel tangents to the given line in a circle.
