Solution

For uniform circular motion:

The velocity is always tangential to the circular path with magnitute of velocity being constant at any time. So, figure C represents the velocity perfectly.

The accelaration of uniform circular motion is always towards the centre. So, figure B reresent the accelaration perfectly.
