• A. greater than or equal to
• B. less than
• C. less than or equal to
• D. greater than

Answer 1

The correct option is D greater than

Consider 3 points A,B, and C such that point A is a point inside a circle, B is a point on the circle and C is a point outside the circle.

OA - the length of the line from center to point inside the circle.
OB - radius of the circle.
OC - the length of the line from center to the point outside the circle.

OA<OB<OC

The length of the line from the center of a circle to any point outside the circle will be always greater than it's radius.
