The correct options are
A

Oscillatory motion

If we observe the motion of the bob in the above figure, we see it moves to and fro about a point ‘O’. This type of motion is known as oscillatory motion. Also the motion of simple pendulum is a periodic motion as it takes equal time to complete one oscillation.
