A wire, which passes through the hole in a small bead, is bent in the form of quarter of a circle. The wire is fixed vertically on ground as shown in the below figure. The bead is released from near the top of the wire and it slides along the wire without friction. As the bead moves from A to B, the force it applies on the wire is 

- Aalways radially outwards.
- Balways radially inwards.
- Cradially outwards initially and radially inwards later.
- Dradially inwards initially and radially outwards later.
