Solution

Dear Student

A body moving with certain velocity will move in a straight line unless a force acts on it. So the velocity ( magnitude, direction or both) will change only when a force is applied (F = ma), i.e. when the body is accelerated. So the nature of the path is determined by acceleration.
So option (3) is right
