Solution
Given, radius of the circle = 8 cm
As shown in the figure,
AB and CD are two parallel tangents of the circle with centre O
OP and OQ are radius of the circle
$$=$$> OP = OQ = 8 cm
$$\therefore\ $$Distance between two parallel tangents = OP + OQ = 8 + 8 = 16 cm
Hence, the correct answer is Option A
