D. 23 cm

Step-by-step explanation

Diameter is a straight line passing from side to side through the centre of the circle and a radius is a straight line from the centre to the circumference of a circle

the relation between the diameter and the radius of a circle is given by:


radius=(diameter)/(2)

(or the diameter is twice the radius)

then

a) let


diameter\text{= 46 cm}

now, replace


radius=(46cm)/(2)=23\text{ cm}

therefore, the answer is

D. 23 cm
