Solution

The correct options are
A A lift going up
D An aeroplane flying straight
When an object moves in a straight line, it is said to undergo rectilinear motion.
So, a lift going up or an aeroplane flying straight would be rectilinear motion.
However, a ceiling fan or Earth going round the sun would be examples of circular motion.
