Answer:

Option D.

3 equations with 3 variables

Step-by-step explanation:

The coordinates of a point in space must necessarily have 3 components. One to describe the distance on the x axis, another to describe the distance on the y axis to the point, and a third to describe the distance on the z axis.

If we have three variables, then 3 equations are needed to solve the system. With less than 3 equations it would be impossible to solver the system.

Therefore the correct answer is option D.

3 equations with 3 variables
