The correct definition of a parallel line is: **A parallel line is a straight line that always remains the same distance from another line and never intersects it.**
The other definitions provided are not accurate descriptions of parallel lines:
- "A finite section of a line between two points on that line" does not describe parallel lines, but rather segments of a line.
- "A line that intersects another line at a 90-degree angle" describes perpendicular lines, not parallel lines.
- "A straight figure that has no thickness and extends infinitely in two opposite directions" is a general description of a line, not specifically a parallel line.
Thus, the first response is the accurate and complete definition of parallel lines.
