Solution

The correct option is A Acceleration
The acceleration by definition is rate of change of velocity. Hence, acceleration determines the nature of the path followed by the particle.
Also, by Newton's second law of motion, acceleration will change by the application of some force (since, F = ma) and disturbs the uniform motion of the particle.
