Answer:

Direction C

Explanation: It's the force that makes an object to follow a circular (and generally a curved) path. Its direction is always towards the center of the circle, perpendicular to the tangent velocity. The diagram shows 4 possible options for the centripetal force acting on the object represented as a black dot. The correct option is the direction marked as C since it points inwards and ties the object to its circular motion.
