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 endpoints 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 in two distinct points, it is a secant of the circle
