Luda [366]

<span>As it is uniform circular motion therefore speed is constant. Therefore we can rule out option B. Also in circular motion the direction of velocity vector changes therefore velocity can't be constant. Therefore option B is incorrect as well. Also centripetal acceleration is always towards the center so option D is wrong as well. That implies option A is correct.</span>
