Which of the following best defines a redundant constraint in a system of linear inequalities? (a)

\text{An inequality that is parallel to another constraint in the system}

(b)

\text{An inequality that can be removed without changing the feasible region because it is implied by the remaining inequalities}

(c)

\text{An inequality that makes the system inconsistent and leaves no common solution}

(d)

\text{An inequality that enlarges the feasible region so that it becomes unbounded}
