The problem asks us to identify a tangent line, a secant line, and a chord in the given circle. We are given that $M$ is the center of the circle, $\overline{KL}$ is a diameter, $\overleftrightarrow{GI}$ intersects the circle at $L$, and $\overleftrightarrow{NF}$ intersects the circle at $H$ and $K$.

1. Problem Description

The problem asks us to identify a tangent line, a secant line, and a chord in the given circle. We are given that MM is the center of the circle, KL\overline{KL} is a diameter, GI\overleftrightarrow{GI} intersects the circle at LL, and NF\overleftrightarrow{NF} intersects the circle at HH and KK.

2. Solution Steps

(a) A tangent line is a line that intersects a circle at only one point. From the diagram, GI\overleftrightarrow{GI} intersects the circle at only point LL. Therefore, GI\overleftrightarrow{GI} is a tangent line.
(b) A secant line is a line that intersects a circle at two points. From the diagram, NF\overleftrightarrow{NF} intersects the circle at points HH and KK. Therefore, NF\overleftrightarrow{NF} is a secant line.
(c) A chord is a line segment that connects two points on a circle. From the diagram, HK\overline{HK} connects points HH and KK on the circle. KL\overline{KL} connects points KK and LL on the circle, and goes through the center MM, and therefore is a diameter and also a chord. Since the problem only asks for one chord, either chord can be listed. Let's list HK\overline{HK}.

3. Final Answer

(a) GI\overleftrightarrow{GI}
(b) NF\overleftrightarrow{NF}
(c) HK\overline{HK}
