Solution

The correct option is A True
  1. The force acting on a body moving in a circular path, and is directed towards the center around which the body is moving is called centripetal force.
  2. Since there is a circular motion, and no displacement is caused by the force, the work done is said to be zero.

Hence, the given statement is true.
