Solution
The correct option is C EF
A Straight line touching the circle at only one point is called as tangent. Here, line EF touches the circle only at P.
Hence, EF is a tangent.
Common Misunderstanding:
It may look like lines GH and AB touch the circle at only one point. But they are lines, so it will extend till infinity. So lines GH and AB will touch the circle again.
