m8 excuse my 1st year noobiness but with centripetal acceleration isn't there always acceleration towards the centre of the circle and since the speed is increasing the vectors would add up to f)

There are two acceleration vectors: In front of the car and towards the centre of the circle. When you add them up, you should get either f) or g).

But the question says "average" so put the car on the road directly between 1 and 2. You'll get f).
