Solution

The correct option is A True
In both oscillatory and vibratory motion, the motion of the bodies is repetitive.
The time taken to complete a single oscillation or vibration remains the same.
When a body repeats its motion after a fixed time interval, its motion is called periodic motion.
For example; the motion of the earth around the sun is periodic, and the movement of the hands of a clock is also a periodic motion.
Thus, the given statement is true.
