Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) all straight lines in a plane

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The given differential equation is \(\dfrac{d^2 y}{d x^2} = 0\). Integrating both sides with respect to \(x\) once, we obtain \(\dfrac{dy}{dx} = c_1\), where \(c_1\) is an arbitrary constant. Integrating again with respect to \(x\), we obtain \(y = c_1 x + c_2\), where \(c_2\)…
