Solution

The correct answer is d. non-uniform circular motion.

Here's why:

When a car is moving in a straight line at a constant speed, it is said to be in linear motion. However, when it takes a turn, it is moving in a circular path.

If the car was moving at a constant speed while taking the turn, it would be in uniform circular motion.
