Three · Triceratops has three horns, one above its nose and two above its eyes.
T. rex · T. rex has tiny arms and a mouth full of huge teeth.

Stegosaurus · Bony back plates and a spiky tail are Stegosaurus's clues.
Brachiosaurus · Brachiosaurus has a very long neck that reaches leaves high in trees.
True · Yes, three horns and a bony frill are Triceratops's clues.
Brachiosaurus · A long neck with no horns or plates matches Brachiosaurus best.
No, other dinosaurs had big teeth too · Other dinosaurs had big teeth too, so big teeth alone do not tell you it is a T. rex.
