Solution

The correct option is B periodic
A bob attached to compressed spring moves to and fro continuously with a constant time period until it starts to slow down and comes to rest. This is an example of periodic motion where an object repeats its motion in equal intervals of time. Other examples of such motion include a swing, and the pendulum of a wall clock, etc.
