Solution

The correct option is B: 8 cm



Given, a circle is passing through all the vertices of the rectangle ABCD.

In a cyclic quadrilateral, sum of opposite internal angles is 180.

Since, BAD=BCD=90

ˆADB and ˆBDC are semicircles as angle in a semi-circle is 90.

BD is the diameter of the circle and also the diagonal of the rectangle.

BD=2×(radius)=2×4=8 cm
