Solution

The correct options are
A Uniform Circular Motion
B Periodic Motion
Moon's orbit around the Earth is approximately circular. Also, it moves approximately at a constant speed. Hence, it exhibits a Uniform Circular Motion.

Moon passes each point on its orbit after a fixed interval(s) of time. Hence, it exhibits periodic motion. Time period of the moon is equal to the smallest of these periods.
