(a) Yes, with one line of symmetry we have the triangle:

This is an isosceles triangle.

(b) No, as there exists no triangle with only two symmetry lines.

Hence, no such triangle is possible.

(c) Yes, a triangle with three lines of symmetry is possible:

And it is an equilateral triangle, shown below in the figure.
