Solution

The correct options are
A Motion of a snake
B Roller coaster
D A train moving on a curved track
Curvilinear motion is the motion of an object when it moves along a curved path. So the movement of a snake and a roller coaster are curvilinear in nature as they move in a curved fashion eventhough it forward in a straight line. A train moving on a curved track is also an example of curvilinear motion. A swinging pendulum is an example of oscillatory motion as it moves to and fro about the same point.
