It's depending structural design. Then the pile required support of column more than one.

For group action of piles.

Minimum no of piles =3.

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).

I think there are 4 piles in pike cap.

This is only theoretical.

2 piles also used.

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.
