Solution
The correct option is D AD A diameter of a circle is any straight line segment that passes through the center of the circle and whose endpoints lie on the circle. In this case, the line segments AD passes through the centre of the circle and end points are A and D which lie on the circle. Thus, AD is the diameter of the circle. The line segments EC and AB does not pass through the center of the cirlce and are called chords of the circle.
