A triangle cannot have more than one right angle.

Here's why:

A triangle has three angles, and the sum of the interior angles in any triangle is always 180 degrees.
A right angle measures 90 degrees.
If a triangle were to have two right angles, the sum of those two right angles would already be 180 degrees, leaving no room for the third angle.
Therefore, it's impossible for a triangle to have more than one right angle.
The correct answer is: A) one.
