Solution

The correct option is C
Rotatory.

Rectilinear motion means the motion of a body in a straight line.
Curvilinear motion means the motion of a body in a curved path.
Rotatory motion means the motion of a body about its own axis (axis passing through the body).
Random motion can't be predicted.
The nature of the motion of the earth around its axis is rotatory motion.
Hence, option C is correct.
