A)

in the plane, but perpendicular to the velocity vector
B)

in a direction dependent on the magnitudes of the velocity and position vectors
C)

perpendicular to the plane
D)

in the plane, but perpendicular to both the position vector and the velocity vector
E)

in the plane, but perpendicular to the position vector
