Solution
The correct option is A Chord
A chord of a circle is a straight line segment whose endpoints both lie on the circle.
The blue line PQ in the figure above is called a "chord of the circle c". A chord is a lot like a secant, but where the secant is a line stretching to infinity in both directions, a chord is a line segment that only covers the part inside the circle. Therefore option A will be the answer.
