Consider a homogeneous system of three linear equations in three unknowns represented by $AX=O$. If $X=\left[\begin{array}{c}l \\ m \\ 0\end{array}\right]$, where $l \neq 0, m \neq 0, l, m \in \mathbb{R}$, represents an infinite number of solutions of this system, then the rank of $A$ is:

  • A
    $3$
  • B
    $2$
  • C
    $1$
  • D
    Does not exist
