Solution

The correct option is B
False
The given statement is false.

In a uniform circular motion, the particle travels equal distance along the circular path in equal intervals of time i.e., the particle moves with a constant speed in a circular path in uniform circular motion.​
The direction of motion of the particle changes at each point of circular path. The continuous change in the direction of motion implies that the velocity of the particle is non-uniform.​
