Solution

The correct answer is (b) Might be accelerated.

Even if a body is moving at a constant speed, it might still be accelerating. This is because acceleration is a change in velocity, which is a vector quantity. Velocity takes into account both speed and direction. So, if the direction of the body's motion is changing, then the body is accelerating, even if its speed remains constant. This is often seen when a body is moving in a circular path at a constant speed.
