Answer: chord

Step-by-step explanation:

A chord is a straight line that's typically drawn from one particular edge of a circle to another.

In this case, the diameter is 14cm while the length of the line drawn is 11cm, therefore the diameter isn't a chord. It's not a radius as well as the diameter divided by 2 gives the radius which should be 7cm.

Therefore, it's a chord.
