In case of circular motion of a body, if tangential force also acts on the body in addition to centripetal force, then work done.

a
by both the forces is zero
b
by both the forces is positive
c
by centripetal force is zero but work done by tangential force is not zero
d
by tangential force is zero by work done by centripetal force is not zero.
