A radius is half of a diameter, and a diameter is 180
180/2 = 90
D is the correct answer

myschool is correct ,To find the angle subtended at the centre by a chord equal in length to the radius of the circle:
Let:
- Radius = r
- Chord = r (since it's equal to the radius)
In the triangle formed by the two radii and the chord, it's an isosceles triangle.
Let the angle at the center be θ.
Using the cosine rule:
cos(θ) = (r² + r² − r²) / (2 × r × r)
cos(θ) = r² / (2r²) = 1/2
θ = cos⁻¹(1/2) = 60°
