Hint: To answer this type of general question just go to the primary definition of the angle how we represent an angle in between two intersection lines. There we can see how many letters are needed to represent an angle.

Complete step-by-step answer:
 In geometry, an angle can be defined as the figure formed by two rays meeting at a common endpoint.
An angle is represented by the symbol ∠. Here, the angle below is \[\angle CAB\].
Suppose two line segment AC and AB intersect each other at A
As shown in the diagram

The angle between the line segments AC and AB is denoted as \[\angle CAB\].
So, maximum number of letters \[ = 3\]
The notation does not have any meaning if we use more than 3 letters.
So, the correct answer is “3”.

Note: There is always the requirement of two lines to represent an angle we can not form an angle by using a single line. If we use three lines intersecting in a single point can form 6 angles.
