Answer:

Option D

Explanation:

By the property of intersecting chords,

If two chords are intersecting at a point inside a circle, product of lengths of the line segments on each chord is equal.

DI × EI = HI × GI

12 × EI = 8 × 6

EI =
(48)/(12)

EI = 4

Therefore, Option D is the correct option.
