Solution

The correct option is A Accelerated motion
An accelerating body is an object that is changing its velocity. And since velocity is a vector that has both magnitude and direction, a change in either the magnitude or the direction constitutes a change in the velocity. And, while moving in a circle even if the speed is kept constant the direction change at every point on circle, which means the velocity is changing.
Hence a uniform circular motion is a accelerated motion
