A circle is defined as a shape where all points on the boundary are equidistant from the center. In contrast, an oval (or ellipse) is a shape where the distance across the shape through the center is not the same in every direction. This key difference is what distinguishes an oval from a circle.

I apologize for the confusion in my response. To clarify:

"The distance across the oval through the center is not the same in every direction" is the correct answer.

This statement highlights the key distinction between an oval and a circle, as the distance across an oval's center varies depending on the direction, while a circle maintains a consistent distance across the center in all directions. Thank you for pointing out the error.
