A Correct answer
Explanation

To maximize pieces with 3 cuts, use the optimal strategy: Cut 1 creates 2 pieces. Cut 2, if intersecting cut 1, creates 4 pieces. Cut 3, if intersecting both previous cuts, creates 8 pieces. This is achieved when all three cuts intersect at different points, creating 2^3 = 8 maximum pieces. This is a classic combinatorial geometry result.
