A tangent to a circle at a point P with coordinates is a straight line that touches the circle at P and the tangent is perpendicular to the radius which joins the centre of the circle to the point P

From the circle drawn


\vec{}\vec{HF}\text{ and }\vec{\text{DE}}\text{ are tangents to the circle}

Therefore, the corrcet answer is DE
