Answer:

d. line AG

Explanation:

A tangent is a line that just 'touches' the curve of a circle, and doesn't intersect it.

We can see that since AG touches the circle, and since the other lines all intersect the circle, the tangent here is AG

Answer:

d.

Explanation:

line AG is the answer because a tangent line to a circle is a line that touches the circle at exactly one point, never entering the circle's interior.
