Answer 1

Tension is the force causing the path. It is always directed inward for circular motion. To hit the ceiling you need B. The stopper will travel along the tangent line it was moving when released (when tension goes to 0). This is upward in B so it will keep going up to the ceiling.
The velocity is pointed along the tangent line at all times (parallel to the edge of the circle at any point)
