Hint:We will draw any random circle with any chosen radius since the question does not give us a specific radius or any other parameter to solve this sum. we will draw a circle with any radius of our choice with a compass


Complete step by step solution:
In Figure 1 we can find that ,
(a)O is the centre from where the radius is drawn to form a circle.
(b)OE, OI, OB, OA and OF all these are the circle’s radius. It can have many other radii too.
(c)The simple line or the straight line GH is the segment.
(d)Its largest chord is its diameter which is 2 times the radius. Diameter is EF. We can draw many other diameters, the prerequisite is that it should be a straight line and the largest chord of length 2 times the radius.
 (e)Sector is AOB.
(f)The arc is the curved surface GH. We can have more arcs.

Additional information:
The center of a circle is the point equidistant from the points on the edge. We draw the radius by putting the compass at this centre point. In classical geometry, a radius of a circle or sphere is any of the line segments from its center to its perimeter, and in more modern usage, it is also their length. An arc of a circle is a "portion" or the curve of the circumference of the circle. The length of an arc is simply the length of its "portion" of the circumference. The circumference itself can be considered a full circle arc length.
 A chord of a circle is a straight line segment whose endpoints both lie on the circle. The infinite line extension of a chord is a secant line, or just secant. More generally, a chord is a line segment joining two points on any curve.



Note: Follow the step by step solution properly. The description given afterward will give us a proper idea of what we have plotted. while drawing a circle we need to give extra attention to the length of the pencil and compass. the scale measurement taken while drawing the radius should also be done carefully
