Point $P$ is outside circle $C$ on the plane. At most how many points on $C$ are $3$ cm from $P$?
$\textbf{(A)} \ 1 \qquad  \textbf{(B)} \ 2 \qquad  \textbf{(C)} \ 3 \qquad  \textbf{(D)} \ 4 \qquad  \textbf{(E)} \ 8$
The points $3$ cm away from $P$ can be represented as a circle centered at $P$ with radius $3$ cm. The maximum number of intersection points of two circles is $\boxed{\textbf{(B)} \ 2}$.
