The diameter of a hose is the distance across the circular cross-section of the hose, measured through the center. Therefore, the size of a hose is indicated by its inside diameter, typically measured in inches or millimeters. Choices A and B refer to the circumference, which is the distance around the hose, and is not the most common measurement used for hose size. Choice D refers to the outer dimensions of the hose, which may be larger or smaller than the inside diameter depending on the thickness of the hose walls.
