Solution

The correct options are
B

Oscillatory


C

Periodic


D

Non-linear


The motion of the pendulum of a clock is to and fro about the mean position and hence, it is an oscillatory motion.
Moreover, the motion repeats itself after regular intervals of time. Hence, it is periodic too.
As the bob does not move along a straight line, the motion is not linear. It is a non-linear motion.
