Right answer is (c) DISTANCE between leading EDGE and trailing edge

Explanation: Distance between leading edge and the trailing edge is called chord. Chord REFERS to the IMAGINARY straight line joining the leading edge and trailing edge of an airfoil. The chord length is the distance between the trailing edge and the point on the leading edge, where the chord intersects the leading edge.
