The figure shows a vertical line through points A and B, crossed at right angles by a horizontal line labelled n. A and B are equidistant from line n.
In the figure above, A and B are equidistant from the line n. How many circles can be drawn with their centers on line n and that pass through both A and B?
A- 1
B- 2
C- 3
D- 4

The correct answer is E.
Since, the distance from any point on line n to the points A and B are equal, then, any point on line n can be the center of a circle. The distance from that point to either A or B could be the radius of a circle.
