Step-by-Step Solution

Lines (or points) lying in the same plane are coplanar. Collinear refers to points on the same line.
Answer: A) Coplanar

Key idea: The five postulates of Euclid

**Postulate 1**: A straight line may be drawn from any one point to any other point.

**Postulate 2**: A terminated line (segment) can be produced indefinitely (extended).

**Postulate 3**: A circle can be drawn with any centre and any radius.

**Postulate 4**: All right angles are equal to one another.

**Postulate 5** (the famous one): If a straight line falling on two straight lines makes the interior angles on the same side together less than two right angles (180°), then the two lines, if produced indefinitely, meet on that side on which the angles are less than two right angles.

These 5 statements are the seeds. Everything else in classical geometry grows from them.
