Solution

The correct option is B random motion
An object is performing random motion when its direction changes randomly, and its pattern of motion is not repeated at all. In rotational motion, an object makes rotation about an axis passing through its body. When the object travels in a straight path, it is called linear motion. And, in a circular motion, objects move in a circular path.
