$A$ wire,which passes through the hole of a small bead,is bent in the form of a quarter of a circle. The wire is fixed vertically on the ground as shown in the 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

  • A
    always radially outwards
  • B
    always radially inwards
  • C
    radially outwards initially and radially inwards later.
  • D
    radially inwards initially and radially outwards later.
