Solution
The correct option is B False
The chord of the circle is the line joining two points on the circumference of the circle.
In the above figure, the end points of the line, i.e., A and B are not points on the circumference of the circle. Hence, AB is not a chord of the circle.
Since the line AB cuts the circle at two distinct points, it is a secant of the circle.
