Answer:

Option A: A chord is a line segment that has both endpoints on a circle.

Explanation:

A chord of a circle is a line segment whose endpoints both lie on the circle.

In general a chord is a line segment that connects two distinct points on a circle. Its also called a secant in a circle, that intersects the circle at exactly two points.

Here, option A is correct.
