Answer:

Centripetal force

Step-by-step explanation:

When an object moves in circular path then it will have two types of force on it

1) Tangential force :

tangential force will change the magnitude of the speed of the object while it is moving in circular path

2) Centripetal force:

Centripetal force is the force which always act towards the center of the path and it will always help the object to maintain its path in circular way.

So here correct answer would be

Centripetal Force
