- BThe system may be volume preserving.
- CThe system may be Hamiltonian.
- DThe system may have a globally attracting limit cycle.

23The existence and uniqueness theorem implies that trajectories cannot intersect if the flow is smooth enough. But in many phase portraits of smooth systems different trajectories appear to intersect at fixed points, for example close to saddle points. Is this a contradiction? Answer with one of the following alternatives
- ANo, this is an artefact of projecting higher-dimensional trajectories onto two dimensions.
- BNo, since no trajectory can pass the fixed point, trajectories do not intersect.
- CNo, since flows are non-smooth at fixed points
- DNo, near the fixed point the density of trajectories become too high for the resolution of the phase portrait. Therefore trajectories appear to intersect even though they do not.
- ENo, it just appears that way due to numerical errors when plotting the phase portrait.
