Don't be confused, he has stated that the velocity is same. Its always tangential. You can't say about direction Because you don't know where they are measuring the velocity of partial. Either it might be on same position or It might very.

A particle cannot move in a circular path with uniform velocity as the direction of the particle is changing continuously. Hence the statement is incorrect.

Uniform velocity - Does this mean constant speed changing direction based on a circle? Constant velocity would not result in a circular path.

Acceleration means increase in velocity. So the statement is right.

It a particle moving with uniform velocity then it would travel in?

Tangential velocity always changes its direction in a circular motion, and hence there exists a tangential acceleration. So the statement is incorrect.

What is the meaning of word 'tangential' here?
BIDHAN said:

Yes, There is only centripetal acceleration.
Dhruv Singh said:

Basically, Tangential Acceleration is equal to (Radius*Angular Acceleration), as the velocity is uniform, there is no angular acceleration. Hence, only the centripetal acceleration exists.

Remember that tangential acceleration refers to the change in the magnitude of velocity, but not it's direction. Here metioned velocity is constant, so option A is correct.
