Which of the following statment is not true ?

A
If a point $P$ lies inside a circle, no tangent can be drawn to the circle passing through $P$.
B
If a point $P$ lies on a circle, then one and only one tangent can be drawn to the circle at $P$.
C
If a point $P$ lies outside a circle, then only two tangents can be drawn to the circle from $P$.
✓
A circle can have more than two parallel tangents parallel to a given line.

✓

Answer

Correct option: D.

A circle can have more than two parallel tangents parallel to a given line.

Options $(a), (b)$ and $(c)$ are all true.
However, Option $(d)$ is false since we can draw only parallel tamngent on either side of the diameter,
which would be parallel to a given line.
