A chord
A line can be tangent to a circle in which case it intersects it in one point, it can intersect it in two points, or no points at all. So the choices are 0,1 or 2.
A secant is a line that passes through a point on the circle and the center of the circle. It intersects the circle at two different points.
Chord
A chord line intersects a circle at two points of which the circle's diameter is its largest chord.
A line segment that intersects with or joins two points on a circle is called a chord.
A tangent line. A line that intersects a circle at two points is a secant.
No. A tangent touches the circle at exactly one point. A line that intersects a circle at exactly two points is a secant.

if that line segment intersects the centre of the circle it is called a radius.

A straight line that intersects a circle or curve at two points, but which has both end points outside the circle or curve is called a secant. A straight line that links two points on a circle or curve is called a chord. A straight line which touches a circle or curve at one point is called a tangent. A straight line that cuts a circle or curve at one point is a straight line.* For moving diagrams see Related links below this box.
