Solution
✅ Correct Option: 2
A line is fixed once both a position and a direction are known, so (A) determines it uniquely.
Two distinct points also fix a position and a direction, so (B) works.
A single point allows infinitely many directions and a direction alone allows infinitely many parallel lines, so (C) and (D) fail.
