It should be easy to come up with (c)
In fact, most of your exercises will intersect at a point.

Now just adjust one of the planes so that it works for (a) and (b)
I'm sure your text has examples of such situations.
Here is an excellent video, with diagrams and example set of equations.
There are actually 3 videos, they should run into each other.
