Solution

The correct option is D Non-Linear motion
East direction
When a body moves in a straight line with respect to time, it is known as linear or rectilinear motion. In the given question, Kavita changes her direction once, so this is a non-linear motion.

Initially, she was facing northwards. When she turns right, she will now be facing in the east direction.
