A line that intersects a circle at exactly two distinct points is called a
Atangent
Bradius
Csecant
Dchord
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. secant
A secant is a line that cuts a circle at two points. A tangent touches it at one point, a radius joins the centre to a point on the circle, and a chord is only the segment joining two points on the circle.
