This question was asked on Ouara once. The answer is so long and drawn out in it's explanation that I had no chance of following it being as I failed basic math.
The true answer as it was answered on Quara by someone who appeared to really know what they were talking about because they were giving equations and crazy stuff like that is one.
I thought two just like a lot of people do because to me a circle with only one side would actually be a sphere.
But also a circle with two sides wouldn't be a circle it would be a ring.
So I would have to go with one because it isn't a sphere nor a ring.
One I say. LOL
I wrote way to much.

@Dainbramadge wrong

@TheOrionbeltseeker I beg to differ. I read your explanation and the size of the circle has no bearing on how many sides it has.

@Dainbramadge okay

@TheOrionbeltseeker I can't see it. All I can see is what looks like a string of documents but it won't expand so I can see them.

@TheOrionbeltseeker But let me add this. If a three and a half inch circle has one side so does the 12 inch one. I don't see where size matters. LOL. " That's what she said ". :-)

@TheOrionbeltseeker Ok. I looked it over. I was surprised how many people actually did say infinite.
But let me try to explain it this way and maybe you can see where I am coming from in my less academic manner.
A square has four sides. Not an inside and outside just four. Using that as a base it doesn't matter what size the square is.
So with a circle not having an inside and outside because it isn't a ring it would only have one side.
Now if the circle was actually a sphere it wouldn't have any sides at all and could be considered infinite.
