The correct statement about the diameter of a sphere is:

The diameter of a sphere passes through the center of the circle.

To clarify the other statements:

  • The diameter is a chord, specifically the longest chord possible in a sphere.
  • The diameter is not the shortest length; rather, it is the longest distance across the sphere.
  • The diameter is not 2.5 times the length of the radius; it is exactly 2 times the radius.

So, the fourth statement is the only true one.
