Solution

The correct option is C vibratory
While playing the drums, the membrane vibrates and hence produces sound. Thus playing of drum is an example of vibratory motion. Where as a body moves in straight direction is said to be moving in rectilinear motion. And a body moves in a curved path is said to be moving in circular motion.
