a plane
Explanation:
A summary definition: A set of vectors spans a space if their linear combinations fill all of that space.
2 linearly independent vectors in R3 simply means 2 arrows, with tails at the origin, pointing out in different directions in R3
These 2 vectors in R3 can only span a plane.
