If net force on a system is zero then

One end of a string of length $l$ is connected to a particle of mass $m$ and the other to a small peg on a smooth horizontal table. If the particle moves in a circle with speed $v$ the net force on the particle (directed towards the centre) is :

$(i) \;T,$ $(ii)\; T-\frac{m v^{2}}{l},$ $(iii)\;T+\frac{m v^{2}}{l},$ $(iv) \;0$

$T$ is the tension in the string. [Choose the correct alternative].
