In a body that moves in a circular path around a central point,the force that acts away from the centre is called.
A
Centrifugal force
B
Rotational force
C
Moving force
D
Attracting force
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Centripetal force is the component of force acting on an object in curvilinear motion which is directed towards the axis of rotation or centre of curvature. Centrifugal force is a pseudo force in a circular motion which acts along the radius and is directed away from the centre of the circle.

Detailed explanation-2: -The correct option is C centripetal force. A force that acts on a body moving in a circular path, and is directed towards the centre around which the body is moving is called centripetal force.

Detailed explanation-3: -Centrifugal force is the apparent outward force on a mass when it is rotated. Think of a ball on the end of a string that is being twirled around, or the outward motion you feel when turning a curve in a car. In an inertial frame, there is no outward acceleration since the system is not rotating.

Detailed explanation-4: -Any object moving in a circle (or along a circular path) experiences a centripetal force. That is, there is some physical force pushing or pulling the object towards the center of the circle. This is the centripetal force requirement.
