Verified Answer :

B.

We know that the definition of acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. Moreover, velocity is a vector quantity, so it has both magnitude and direction. While moving in a circle, the direction of the car's velocity is constantly changing. This change means that the velocity of the car is changing. Because the velocity is changing, the car is accelerating, despite the magnitude of the velocity remaining the same.

The answer is B, a car that rounds a curve at a constant speed.
