A particle is moving in a circular orbit of radius $r$ under the influence of an attractive central force. Assume the Bohr quantization condition to hold. It is found that the frequency of revolution of the particle is independent of the quantum number $n$. Then, the force is proportional to

A
$1 / r$
B
$1 / r^2$
Correct answer
C
$r$
D
$r^2$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
