As a body moves in a circular path, inward seeking force is called .......

Options

A. Centrifugal force
B. Tension force
C. Tangential force
D. Centripetal force

Explanation

To solve the question, we need to identify the inward seeking force acting on a body moving in a circular path. Let's analyze the options provided:

1. **Centrifugal Force**: This is actually an outward seeking force that appears to act on a mass moving in a circular path when viewed from a rotating reference frame. It is not the correct answer.

2. **Tension Force**: This force acts along a string or rope when it is pulled tight. While it can be involved in circular motion (like a pendulum), it is not specifically the inward seeking force associated with circular motion itself. Thus, this is not the correct answer.

3. **Tangential Force**: This force acts along the tangent to the circular path and is responsible for changing the speed of the object moving in circular motion. It does not act inward, so this is also not the correct answer.

4. **Centripetal Force**: This is the force that acts inward towards the center of the circular path, keeping the object in circular motion. It is the correct answer to the question.

Therefore, the inward seeking force acting on a body moving in a circular path is called **Centripetal Force**.

### Final Answer:
The inward seeking force is called **Centripetal Force**.
