Solution

The correct options are
A Periodic
B Circular
Both periodic and circular motion.

Moon completes one full revolution around the Earth in about every 28 days. Moon repeats the motion after a fixed period of time, we call it periodic motion.
Also the Moon revolves around the Earth in almost a circular path. So we can also classify this motion as circular motion.
