Centripetal Force

A particle, body, object or certain mass while travelling in a rotational path or semicircular path, experiences an inertia force. If that inertia force pulls the towards the inward of the imaginary circle in the rotation, it is termed as centripetal force.

Question

What is the direction of the centripetal force in a circular motion?
parallel to the tangential velocity of the mass in motion
towards the center of the circle
away from the center of the circle
O parallel to the orthogonal velocity of the mass in motion
