When the lines of action of all forces lie in one plane.
- B.

Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Coplanar forces are forces whose lines of action lie in the same plane. Therefore, the statement "When the lines of action of all forces lie in one plane" correctly defines coplanar force. The other options define concurrent force, equilibrant force, and resultant force.
