• A. Vibratory
• B. Stationary
• C. Circular
• D. Linear

Answer 1

The correct option is D

Linear

Explanation for the correct option

(D): Linear

Linear Motion

Linear motion is defined as a straight-line motion. Here, the body travels linearly, i.e. straight line.

Explanation for the incorrect options

(A): Vibratory motion is a to and from motion.

(B): Stationary motion is an object at rest.

(C): Circular motion is a motion of an object in a circular path.
