The diameter.
Half a line through a circle is called a "diameter" if it passes through the center of the circle, dividing it into two equal halves. If it does not pass through the center, it is referred to as a "chord." A diameter is the longest chord of the circle, while any chord that does not pass through the center is simply a shorter segment of the circle.
The diameter of a circle is a circle's largest chord.
A chord
Yes, in a circle, the perpendicular bisector of a chord does indeed pass through the center of the circle. This is because the perpendicular bisector of a chord divides it into two equal segments and is equidistant from the endpoints of the chord. Since the center of the circle is the point that is equidistant from all points on the circle, it must lie on the perpendicular bisector. Thus, any chord's perpendicular bisector will always intersect the center of the circle.

A chord.
Not true because only the largest chord passes through the center of a circle which is its diameter
That's a 'chord' of a circle. If the chord happens to pass through the center of the circle, then it's called a 'diameter', and no chord of the same circle can be longer.
In general, a "chord", but the particular set of chords that pass through the center are called diameter.
a chord
If a line segment touches two points on the circle it is called as: 1. secant; if the line extends outside the circle. 2. chord; if the line is present only within the circle. Diameter is a line which satisfies the second condition hence it is a chord. The additional condition for a chord to be known as diameter is that the chord should pass through the center of the circle!
Yes a diameter will ALWAYS pass through the center
