The first statement (the diameter passes through the center) is the true one — more precisely: a diameter of a sphere is any straight line segment through the center with endpoints on the sphere.

False statements:
- The diameter is not the shortest length on the sphere (it is the longest straight-line distance through the sphere).
- The diameter is 2.5 times the radius (actually diameter = 2 × radius).
- A diameter is a chord (specifically, a chord that passes through the center).
