Solution

The correct options are
A Periodic motion
C Circular motion
Motion of the objects in a circular path is known as circular motion and the motion of objects in a straight line is called rectilinear motion. If the object repeats its motion in a definite interval of time, then it is known as periodic motion.
Moon goes around the Earth in a circular path, hence it follows a circular motion. Also it repeats its motion in every 28 days. Thus it is said to be in periodic motion as well.
