Which statement defines a radius?

Explanation:
A radius is the segment from the center of a circle to any point on the circle’s edge. That’s exactly what the statement describes when it says a segment from the center to the edge, so it matches the definition of a radius. The other ideas refer to different concepts: a segment through the center that connects two points on the circle is a diameter (double the radius), the point where a line crosses the y-axis is a y-intercept, and the distance around the circle is the circumference.
