A.
\vec{KI} is the secant line on the below circle.

Explanation:

The intersection of the circle will result in either Tangent or Secant. Secant is a line intersecting a circle at two different point. This concept explains the relation between the circle and line intersecting it.

From the given diagram,

The
\vec{GJ} and
\vec{GK} intersects the circle at the point H and I.

It can also represented that the
\vec{JH} and
\vec{KI} intersects at a point G.

From the given options
\vec{KI} is the secant line that intersects the circle twice.
