The correct response is:

A regular triangle has three lines of reflection drawn through each vertex through the midpoint of the opposite side.

This is because a regular triangle (equilateral triangle) possesses symmetry that allows it to be flipped onto itself across these lines of reflection. Each line of reflection goes through a vertex and bisects the opposite side, resulting in three lines for the three vertices.
