Answer:
hey..dear...
Explanation:
"The number of degrees of freedom can be defined as the MINIMUM number of independent coordinates that can specify the position of the system completely" (wikipedia) In your case the number is ONE, because you only need to know the position of the particle along the curve. It doesn't matter if the curve is not a line, or even contained on a plane, because you know the shape of the wire is predetermined and with only one number (the position along the wire), you can recover the 3D position of the particle
A point moving along any path has only ,
Translational degree of freedom
And it's common sense!
A point can not rotate or vibrate
So the other two degree of freedom are absent
