What is the meaning of Diameter?

  • A. The width of a structure
  • B. The distance across the center of an object
  • C. The height of an object
  • D. The radius of a circle
Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B. Diameter is defined as the distance across the center of an object, typically a circle. Choice A is incorrect because width refers to the measurement of something from side to side, not necessarily through the center. Choice C is incorrect because height is a measurement from top to bottom, not across the center. Choice D is incorrect because the radius of a circle is the distance from the center to any point on the circle's circumference, not the distance across the center.
