Correct Answer - Option 3 : Secant

Given:

A line intersecting a circle in two points.

Calculation:

ArcThe arc of a circle is defined as the part or segment of the circumference of a circle.  A straight line that could be drawn by connecting the two ends of the arc is known as a chord of a circle.

SectorSector is a portion of the circle formed by a portion of the circumference (arc) and radii of the circle at both endpoints of the arc.

RadiusWhen we connect a point on the circumference of a circle to the exact centre, then the line segment made is called the radius of the circle.

Secant - A straight line that intersects a circle in two points is called a secant line.

∴ A line intersecting a circle in two points called Secant.
