To determine which segment is the diameter of the circle, we need to find a line segment that passes through the center $O$ of the circle and has endpoints on the circle itself.

In this diagram:

1. Segment $\overline{OD}$ connects point $O$ to point $D$, but $D$ is on the circle while $O$ is the center, so it cannot be a diameter because it doesn't reach both ends of the circle.
2. Segment $\overline{AC}$ connects two points on the circle but does not pass through the center $O$, so it is not a diameter.
3. Segment $\overline{DB}$ also connects two points on the circle but does not pass through the center, making it not a diameter.
4. Segment $\overline{AB}$ connects two points on the circle and passes through the center $O$, which makes it the diameter.

Answer:

The correct answer is D. $\overline{AB}$.
