$A$ body is in equilibrium under the influence of a number of forces. Each force has a different line of action. The minimum number of forces required is:

  • A
    $4$,if their lines of action are parallel and all the forces have the same magnitude.
  • B
    $3$,if their lines of action are not parallel.
  • C
    $3$,if their lines of action are parallel.
  • D
    All of the above
