A chord of a circle is a line segment that connects two points on the circumference of the circle. In the options provided, let's analyze the responses:

  • CE (C E): This connects the center (C) to a point on the circumference (E), which is not a chord.
  • CH (C H): This also connects the center (C) to a point (H), which is not a chord.
  • FG (F G): This connects two points (F and G) on the circumference, so this is a chord.
  • FC (F C): This connects the center (C) to a circumferential point (F), which is not a chord.

Thus, the chord other than the diameter of the circle is:

FG (F G).
