Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
It is true that an object moving in a certain direction with acceleration in the perpendicular direction is possible. For instance, when the object is moving with uniform motion in a circle, then the motion of the object at any instant of time is along the tangent to the circle at that instant. But the centripetal acceleration is along the radius (which is perpendicular to the direction of motion along the tangent).
