Solution

The correct option is D

All of these


Suppose we take a particle undergoing circular motion. If we trace the path followed by the object, it is a circle. Now we can also observe it passes the initial point again and again. If the particle moves with constant speed, then it passes the initial point after equal intervals of time, so it can also be periodic. But the speed of the particle might change during the motion; in that case, it will not pass through the initial point after equal intervals of time. So circular motion can be periodic but it is not necessary.
