Answer 2

A line segment having both endpoints on a circle and not passing through the centre is called a chord. (option a)

• Many lines can go through a circle and meet its circumference at single or multiple points.
• When a line segment is strictly inside the circle and touches the circumference at two points, it is called a chord.
• A secant also cuts the circumference at 2 points but can also be extended outside the circle.
• The diameter goes through the centre, which is not the case with a chord.
