The secant is GB.
all the other ones are chords, except for BP and PC which are radii.
AD is both a chord and a diameter.
AP and PD are also radii.
FB, FC, BE, and EC are chords
a secant is a line that intersects a circle at 2 points.
if the line terminates at the boundaries of the circle, then it is a chord.
if it extends beyond the boundaries of the circle at one or both ends, then it is a secant.
if the line intersects the circle at one point only, then it is a tangent.
check the following reference for additional information.
