Answer:

2. it has an acceleration directed toward the center of its path

Explanation:

For a car moving with constant velocity around a circular track, there is a a change in the direction of the velocity at every point on the path taken by the car around the track. This change in direction generates an acceleration on the car which will be directed towards the center of the track. This is why the inertia force on a person inside the car when it is driven around a circular track is usually away from the center of the track, since the inertia force acts in an opposite direction to the acceleration on a body.
