Correct answer is (D) Gravitational force on the ball

In a vertical motion, the speed of ball doesn’t remain constant and as we discussed earlier, centripetal force can’t be constant in direction itself, so its ruled out.

And for tension, consider two points A, B

Hence tension is also not constant. Now gravitational force on the ball is (mg) at any point on the circle.
