B Correct answer
Explanation

Two circles touching externally have exactly 3 common tangents - 2 direct (external) tangents that don't intersect the line joining centers, and 1 transverse (internal) tangent that passes through their point of contact. This is a standard geometric property. The answer is 3, which matches option B.
