Solution

The correct option is C Rectilinear and Rotational
When a coin is flipped upwards, the coin undergoes two types of motion.

The coin is moving upwards and follows the straight line. Therefore, the coin has a rectilinear motion.

The coin is also rotating about a horizontal axis. Therefore, the coin is experiencing a rotational motion while moving in the straight line.

So, a coin flipped upwards has a combined motion: Rectilinear and Rotational.
