Solution

The correct option is A Mechanical resonance
When we push a person in a swing, we generally match the time between two consecutive pushes, with the time, in which swing comes back to its extreme position. In fact we match our pushing frequency with the frequency of swing to get large arc of swing (amplitude), this is a common example of mechanical resonance.
