Solution

The correct option is B

False


A line can have following relationships with a circle:

1. It neither intersects nor touches the circle

2. It touches the circle. This line is called tangent.

3. It cuts the circle at two points. This line is called secant.

So, a tangent does not cut a circle but touches it.

Thus, the given statement is false.
