A <strong>plane<\/strong> is a flat, two-dimensional surface that extends infinitely in all directions. For any set of points to be considered <em>coplanar<\/em>, they must all exist within one such flat surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let\u2019s examine each option:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u2705 <strong>A. They lie in the same plane<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is <strong>always true<\/strong> by definition. If four points lie in the same plane, then they are <strong>coplanar<\/strong>. This is the most straightforward and literal interpretation of what it means to be coplanar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u2705 <strong>B. They are collinear<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is also <strong>true<\/strong>. Collinear points lie on the same straight line. A line itself lies entirely on a single plane. Therefore, any set of <strong>collinear points is also coplanar<\/strong>, because they share the same plane through the line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even more specifically, <strong>a single line always exists within a plane<\/strong>, so if four points are on the same line, then that line \u2014 and thus those points \u2014 must lie in one plane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u274c <strong>C. They lie on different planes<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is <strong>false<\/strong>. If the four points lie on <strong>different planes<\/strong>, then they cannot all exist in <strong>one common plane<\/strong>, which violates the definition of coplanar. Only if all four points share <strong>at least one plane<\/strong> are they considered coplanar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u274c <strong>D. They lie on different lines<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This can be <strong>true or false<\/strong>, depending on the relative position of the lines. If the lines are <strong>non-coplanar<\/strong> (like skew lines in 3D space), then the points on them might not be coplanar. Thus, this statement is <strong>not always true<\/strong>, so it does <strong>not qualify<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Summary:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The only statements that are <strong>always true<\/strong> for four points to be coplanar are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A.
