Solution

The correct option is A
True
The given statement is true.​

In a uniform linear motion, both the direction and the magnitude of speed of the body remains constant. So, there is no acceleration. ​
In a uniform circular motion, the direction of velocity changes continuously due to the centripetal force. So, there is an acceleration involved. However, the magnitude of velocity remains constant.​
