➡️Answer: 2
➡️Solution:
As we know that a tangent is a line which touches the circle at one place,or intersect the circle at one point.
Thus a circle has infinitely many tangents.
Now if we are talking about parallel tangents ,thus a circle having infinite tangents.
When talk about parallel tangents on a diameter,than there are only two tangents.
In the attached figure:
CI is Diameter
GH is one tangent parallel to DI
ED is other tangent parallel to DI
Hope it helps you.

Answer:
In reality there are infinite parallel tangent lines but only two tangents parallel to secant line (that is the line forming the diameter).
