Solution

The correct options are
C Oscillatory
D Periodic
When a particle is dropped from a height $h$ above the centre of tunnel.
$(i)$ It will oscillate, through the earth to a height $h$ on both sides
$(i i)$ The motion of particle is periodic
$(i i i)$ The motion of particle will not be $S H M$ .
