The time complexity of finding the diameter of a graph

What is the time complexity of finding the diameter of a graph $G=(\cal V,E)$?

  • $\cal{O}(|V|^2)$
  • $\cal{O}(|V|^2+|V| \cdot |E|)$
  • $\cal{O}(|V|^2\cdot |E|)$
  • $\cal{O}(|V|\cdot |E|^2)$

The diameter of a graph $G$ is the longest distance between two vertices in graph.

I have no idea what to do about it, I need a complete analysis on how to solve a problem like this.
