D Correct answer
Explanation

This question tests knowledge of different geometric systems and their parallel postulates. In Euclidean geometry (flat plane), exactly 1 line through point A is parallel to line l. In spherical geometry (Riemannian), no parallel lines exist (0). In hyperbolic geometry (Lobachevskian), infinitely many parallel lines exist. Thus all options are correct depending on the geometry.
