<h2>Circular path i.e 1</h2>

Explanation:

If the driver steer into circular path , the acceleration of car will be

acceleration = velocity²/radius of circle

Because the velocity and radius of circle are both constant at all points . Thus the acceleration will also remain constant .

In case 3 and 4 , the radius of path changes . Because velocity is constant . Therefore the acceleration will not remain constant
