Solution

The correct option is D
Diameter of a circle is a chord but chord may not be a diameter

Diameter is a line segment joining two points on a circle and passing through its centre.
Chord of a circle is defined as a line segment joining two points on a circle.
So, every diameter is a chord but every chord may not pass through the centre of the circle.
