The correct option is D 1 and 4

When an object turns (or spins) about a fixed axis, it is called rotational motion. If it does not revolve around any axis, then it is not a rotational motion.
Motion in a straight line is called rectilinear motion or when an object moves along a straight line so is called rectilinear motion.
The satellite does not move in a straight line so it is not rectilinear motion.
When an object moves along a circular path, it is called circular motion. It moves around an object in space, it can be the moon or earth. Therefore it is said to be in circular motion.
