The right answer is tangential. Because the tangential acceleration exists when body movie in a circular path with non-uniform velocity then the acceleration parallel to the velocity is known as tangential acceleration and the acceleration perpendicular to the velocity is known as radial acceleration or centripetal acceleration.
