How many continuous stripes are in standard holding position?

The holding position marking on taxiways and runways uses four yellow lines: two solid (continuous) lines and two dashed lines. The solid lines face the runway and indicate where aircraft must stop; the dashed lines on the far side allow crossing only when cleared. So, the number of continuous stripes in this marking is two, which is why the best answer is the one that says two parallel stripes.
