,
Particle velocity remains directed perpendicular to radius vector
,
Direction of acceleration keeps changing as particle moves

According to the question, for a particle performing uniform circular motion.
In uniform circular motion :
(i) Speed will always constant.
(ii) Velocity will be tangential in the direction of motion at a particular point. If a string breaks up the particle move tangentially.
(iii) The direction of acceleration $a=\left(\frac{v^2}{r}\right)$ is always be towards centre of the circular path.
(iv) Angular momentum $L=m v r$ is constant in magnitude and direction/out of the plane perpendicularly. So direction of $(L)$ does not change. So does not verify option (d).
