Solution

The correct option is B Rectilinear
The Earth revolves around the Sun in a special path called ellipse. It shows curvilinear motion.
The Earth also rotates along its axis which causes the phenomenon of day and night. Hence, it has rotational motion also.
The Earth takes 365 days and 6 hours to complete 1 revolution; and 24 hours to complete 1 rotation. These motions are repeated after fixed interval of time. Hence it has periodic motion.
