A number of piles depend on column load and pile working load.

Minimum 3 piles required to support a column.

In my opinion, B is the right answer because the pile cap can comprise of min 2piles on which a column rests, and I've used 2 piles to support a column on the field too.

No of piles required is depending on load coming on column.

I have seen a pile foundation where 2 piles support the single column and also 3 piles entirely support 1 column. In my view, two piles is sufficient to support 1 column.

This is only theoretical.

2 piles also used.

I think there are 4 piles in pike cap.

Actually, as per theory is there is a chance of eccentricity of load upon pile cap minimum no. of piles to be used is 3 (in a triangle shape).
