Why do objects experience centripetal acceleration even though they can have a constant speed?

Because they are speeding up as they move in a circle

Because they are constantly changing direction and hence, velocity changes, and that net change is directed inward.

Because they are constantly changing both speed and direction

Because when you have 100 people pedaling, you can speed up more easily.
