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 is the center of the circle, is a diameter, intersects the circle at , and intersects the circle at and .
2. Solution Steps
(a) A tangent line is a line that intersects a circle at only one point. From the diagram, intersects the circle at only point . Therefore, is a tangent line.
(b) A secant line is a line that intersects a circle at two points. From the diagram, intersects the circle at points and . Therefore, is a secant line.
(c) A chord is a line segment that connects two points on a circle. From the diagram, connects points and on the circle. connects points and on the circle, and goes through the center , 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 .
3. Final Answer
(a)
(b)
(c)
