Answer:

The secant in the given figure is:

CD

Explanation:

We know that in geometry a secant is a line that intersect the circle or any curve in atleast two distinct points.

Here we have a curve as a circle.

Hence, the secant is: CD

( Also MH is not a secant since it does not intersect the curve at any point.

Also CT is not a secant because it is not a line, it is a line segment although it intersect the curve at two distinct points )
