Answer:

$\textsf{8.} \quad \textsf{(A)}\;\;\overline{XB}$

$\textsf{9.} \quad \textsf{(D)}\;\;\overleftrightarrow{BD}$

Explanation:

The radius is the distance from the center of a circle to any point on its circumference.

The center of the given circle is point X.

Therefore, the radii in the given circle are line segments XB, XA and XC.

A tangent is a straight line that touches a circle at only one point.

The line BD touches the circle at point B.

Therefore, the tangent of the given circle is line BD.
