A girl attaches a rock to a string, which she then swings counter-clockwise in a horizontal circle. The string breaks at point P in the figure, which shows a bird's-eye view (as seen from above). Which path (A-E) will the rock follow?
A. Path A
B. Path B
C. Path C
D. Path D
E. Path E

Answer:

B. Path B
