Hint- We will describe each choice further according to its meaning in order to deal with this problem first, we will see which line intersects two or more lines at different points.

Complete step-by-step answer:
Take choice A first.
Perpendicular-Perpendicular lines are lines that intersect at a right angle (90 degrees) or we can say perpendicular are lines that intersect at one point.
The diagram below is of two perpendicular lines

Now consider Option B

Transversal-In geometry, a line that crosses two or more lines at two or more different points in the same plane is called transversal.
The transverse line diagram is given below

By choosing C
Parallel - Parallel lines are lines in a plane that are always the same distance apart so parallel lines never intersect to each other
Diagram of parallel lines is given below

Hence option B is the answer.

Note- Ancient mathematicians invented the notion of line or straight line to describe linear objects with negligible width and profundity. Lines represent an idealization of these objects.
