Solution

The correct option is C non accelerated, accelerated
In a uniform linear motion, the direction of motion is fixed and since it also has a constant speed, uniform linear motion is not accelerated. In a uniform circular motion, the direction of motion changes continuously. So even if it has a constant speed, it is accelerated.
