In uniform circular motion (where the speed is constant), the tangential acceleration is zero because there is no change in speed. Only centripetal acceleration (directed towards the centre) is present in a uniform circular motion.

D is the correct option

With uniform velocity change in velocity in uniform direction is zero but centripetal acceleration is due to a change in direction.

So, the answer must be option D.
