Answer:

  (a) two points

Step-by-step explanation:

The curve of a circle can only intersect another circle at a point or in an arc. The intersection will only be an arc if the circles have the same center and radius (are the same circle).

Different circles can only intersect each other at one or two points. Three different circles can intersect in one or two points. The 2-point case is shown in the attachment.
