Answer : Figure B shows maximum tangential speed.

Explanation :

When a body is moving in a circular path of radius r and angular velocity
\omega, then its tangential speed is given by :


v=r\ \omega

or it can also defined as :

In circular motion distance covered by particle is,
d=2\pi r

and if t is the time.

So,
v=(2\pi r)/(T)

In circular motion the object moves tangentially and the magnitude of tangential speed is same in all direction.

So, figure (B) shows the greatest tangential speed.
