Correct Answer: The radius is the longest chord of a circle.
Solution : The radius is not the longest chord of the circle. Diameter is the longest chord of a circle which passes through the centre joining the two points on the circumference of a circle. Diameter = 2 × Radius Hence, the correct answer is 'The radius is the longest chord of a circle.'

Option 1: If a chord is extended outside the circle on both ends then it is called a secant.
Option 2: Tangent is perpendicular to the radius of the circle at the point of contact.
Option 3: A line intersecting at two distinct points of a circle is called a tangent.
Option 4: A tangent is a line touching only one point of the circle.
