Solution

The correct option is C Region in green = Minor sector

The chord divides the circle into two parts, the bigger part corresponds to the major segment (red) and the smaller part is the minor segment(blue).

Sector is the area enclosed by two radii and an arc, where the smaller area is known as the minor sector(blue) and the larger being the major sector(red).
