A slider moves with uniform velocity  on a revolving link of length r with angular velocity ω. The Coriolis acceleration component of a point on the slider relative to a coincident point on the link is equal to

(a) ω  parallel to the link

(b) 2ω  perpendicular to the link

(c) ω  perpendicular to the link

(d) 2ω  parallel to the link

This question was posed to me in a job interview.

My question is taken from Four Bar Chain or Quadric Cycle Chain topic in chapter Simple Mechanisms of Machine Kinematics

The correct option is (b) 2ω  perpendicular to the link

To explain I would say: coriolis components of acceleration for slider is perpendicular to the link.
