The centripetal force is the force that's causing the object to accelerate on a circle. There are three forces acting on the string: gravity (downward), friction (resisting acceleration but negligible), and tension (force the string applies to the key). The only force that is relevant is tension, and therefore, your answer is A, tension.

Which is not a compound? 8H2 H2O 6CaO 5HCl

poizon [28]

8H2. The actual equation doesn't make sense for 8H2. This is because in compounds it always says the number of atoms after the element symbol, but in this case, there is an 8 before it. This means that it isn't a compound.
