Solution

The correct option is C
Radial force

The centripetal force plays an important role in keeping an object in a fixed circular orbit. Although the tangential velocity changes the direction of the body, this force which is directed towards the centre reference point keeps it in fixed radius track. It is also known as a radial force.
