Centrifugal force
B.
Cohesive force

Answer: Option C
Solution
Answer: Option C
Solution:
As a car makes a turn, the force of friction acting upon the turned wheels of the car provides centripetal force required for circular motion. As a bucket of water is tied to a string and spun in a circle, the tension force acting upon the bucket provides the centripetal force required for circular motion.
