Solution
The correct option is B horizontal and skew with the axis
The particle experience both centripetal force (Fc) due to rotation and a tangential force (Ft) as rotation is not uniform; which act as perpendicular directions.
The resultant of →Fc and →Ft = →F
from figure is thus, in horizontal and skew with axis
