The correct answer is: $2 \sqrt{2}$
$\because$ Circle passing through origin. $\therefore c=0$
Centre lies on $y=x \Rightarrow$ centre $(-g,-g)$
$\begin{aligned} & x^2+y^2+2 g x+2 g y=0 \\ & \therefore \quad 2 g(-2)+2 g(-3)=10 \Rightarrow-10 g=10 \Rightarrow g=-1 \\ & \therefore \quad \text { Radius }=\sqrt{1^2+1^2}=\sqrt{2} \\ & \text { Diameter }=2 \sqrt{2} .\end{aligned}$
