Answer:D

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to keep a vehicle in a turn without allowing centrifugal force to pull the car out one must accelerate while taking a turn.

Accelerating while turning allows vehicle to escape out effect of centrifugal force and maintain the traction with the road and prevent slipping.

Also whenever a car is turning it is accelerating because the direction of velocity vector is constantly changing which creates centripetal acceleration on car.
