Solution

The correct option is A

Zero


Since the body is moving on a circular track, force is always perpendicular to the displacement at every moment of its motion. We know that when force and displacement are perpendicular to each other, work done by the force will be 0. So, the work done by the centripetal force on it in one complete revolution is zero.
