Correct Answer: no work is done on it


Solution : The correct option is : that no work is done on it .

No work is done on a body while it rotates in a circle at a constant speed. This is because the body's motion is perpendicular to the direction of the centripetal force that is pulling on it. The force that keeps the body moving in a circular motion and is always pointed in the direction of the circle's centre is known as the centripetal force.
