BA
We are given a diagram. We want to find the line(s) that contain point B and are parallel to CD. To do so we will first recall the definition of parallel lines.

Two coplanar lines that do not intersect |
In the diagram, we have a three-dimensional object, the lines parallel to CD in different planes will run in the same direction, similar to a slope. Since the aquarium is a rectangular prism, we know that BA, FE, and GH are parallel to CD. Among the parallel lines to CD, the line that contains point B is BA, so it fits the required description.
Therefore, we can conclude that there is only one line that contain point B and parallel to CD and this line is BA.
