Solution

The term that describes the collection of all points in a plane that are the same distance from a given point in the plane is B. Circle.

Here's why: In geometry, a circle is defined as the set of all points in a plane that are at a given distance from a given point, the centre. The distance between any of the points and the centre is called the radius. This is the definition that matches the question's description.

A line, diameter, and chord do not fit this description. A line is straight and extends indefinitely in both directions. A diameter is a line segment that passes through the centre of the circle and whose endpoints lie on the circle. A chord is a line segment whose endpoints lie on the circle, but it does not necessarily pass through the centre.
