Detailed Solution

Vector sum can be zero when two coplanar vectors are present, but they must have equal magnitudes. So, in order for them to create a triangle, we need one additional vector.
Thus, we need at least three unequal coplanar vectors whose vector sum can be equal to 0.

The three coplanar vector must form a triangle to give resultant equal to zero.
