b. The boat will continue to travel in the circle because its velocity exerts a force on it.
c. The boat will move off on a line tangent to the circle because there is no force on it.
d. The boat will move off tangent to the circle because there is a force on it perpendicular to the boat directed to the outside of the circle. e. The boat will move off to the outside perpendicular to the tangent line since a force directed to the outside of the circle always acts on the boat.
