Solution

The correct option is C Both ant and lizard are periodic
The ant's velocity is in a tangential direction to its path and acceleration will be directed towards the centre of the circle. Thus, acceleration and velocity vectors are perpendicular to each other.
The lizard's velocity and acceleration are in the same direction, when it moves in a straight line.
But both of them are periodic
Thus the correct option is (c)
