Answer:

ITS B

Explanation:

The direction of velocity is perpendicular to the direction of the position and tangent to the circular orbit. Direction of velocity is constantly changing. When an object moves in a circular orbit, the direction of the velocity changes and the speed may change as well.

The direction of velocity changes at every point in a circular motion. The tangent at any point gives the direction of velocity at that point, where as acceleration is always directed towards the recent in a uniform circular motion.
