Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 3 cases:

there is only 1 segment between P and I that have a length of 2 (that segment is perpendicular to line I)

there are only 2 segments between P and I that have a length of 2 (in this case, P is nearer than before)

The impossible case is that there are infinite segments of length 2
