Since a chord is a line segment that touches exactly two points on a circle, it will be a diameter only if it passes through the center of the circle.  Based on that, I would say b.1

Answer: The correct answer is : b. 1

Explanation: The chord is a rectilinear segment that joins two points of a circle. The diameter is the maximum length chord. When the line passes through the center it is only possible to have a diameter. Therefore a chord can contain a diameter.
