Step 2

A tangent line is a line that just touches a curve at a single point and does not cross through it.

As we see in the given figure, we can clearly say that lines B and D are the tangent line because these lines are touching a curve at single point and lines A and C are not the tangent line because these lines are crossing the curve.
