Answer:

The statement which is true about skew lines is:

Option: D

D. Skew lines do not lie in the same plane

Explanation:

Skew lines-

In mathematics, skew lines are the lines which do not intersect and also they are never parallel.

Also, we know that if two lines are on the same plane i.e. coplanar this means either they will cross i.e. intersect or will be parallel.

This statement imply that skew lines do not lie in the same plane i.e. they are non-coplanar.

Hence, from all of the definition and the property above we get:

D. Skew lines do not lie in the same plane
