Solution

The correct option is A Centripetal force
The force in the string is a tension force which provides the necessary acceleration for the circular motion. This is why it is also treated as a centripetal force in this case.

For a body in uniform circular motion, (if we are rotating a stone using our hand tied by a thread ) which all real forces act ? The centripetal force will be because of the tension in the string, but which is the real force that causes the circular motion as centripetal (tension) force acts inwards . so which Real force causes such a motion( as centrifugal force is only imaginary )
