if you are looking at the cylinder standing up in front of you and a line is drawn AT the top, it would signify the height.
if you draw a line AROUND the cylinder it would be the circumference.
if you look at the top, like looking at a circle, a line ACROSS the center of the circle (cylinder's base's surface) then its the diameter.
a line from the center point of that circle to the outter edge is the radius.

It's D: diameter if the line goes completly across the top of the cylinder. A: radius if the line only goes to the center of the top of the cylinder.

You probably mean the diameter of the cylinder.

your in the wrong area, and it would help if we had a picture to go by so we could know what line your talking about.

"HEIGHT" because, in the automotive world, engineer's refer to it as "TOP DEAD CENTER".
