Answer:

The true statement is:

  • They are contained in multiple planes.

Explanation:

  • We are given three points such that they are collinear i.e. they lie in a straight line.

Hence, such points could never form a triangle.

Because a triangle is formed with the help of three non-collinear points.

  • Also, we know that the line containing the three collinear points in a plane will always lie in a plane and there may be multiple or infinite planes that may contain this line.

Hence, the points will be coplanar (i.e. they lie in the same plane)
