A chord is a line segment that connects any two points on the circumference of a circle. Option C is correct.

Any line segment connecting any two locations on a circle's circumference is called a chord. It can be any length and can either go through the circle's center or not. A diameter is a unique kind of chord with a length twice the radius that goes through the center of the circle.

A radius is a section of a line that joins any point on the circumference to the circle's center. A chord's segment is identified by its length, two endpoints, and other characteristics.
