A secant is a line that intersects a circle at 2 points >>>> A is wrong
A tangent intersects a circle at one point and is perpendicular to the circle >>>> B is wrong
A diameter and a chord is both a line segment that intersects a circle into 2 curves >>>> C is correct
A tangent intersects a circle only at one point >>>> D is wrong
