its velocity is constant but the acceleration changes
its acceleration is constant but the velocity changes
its velocity and acceleration both change.

Solution
its velocity and acceleration both change.
In a circular motion, the direction of particle changes. Therefore, velocity, being a vector quantity, also changes.
As the velocity changes, acceleration also changes.
