Solution
The correct option is C Rotational motion
When a body moves about its own axis, it is known as rotational motion. The fixed leg remains at the same point and rotates about its own axis when a circle is drawn using a compass and hence it depicts rotational motion. When a body moves in a circular path with respect to time, it is known as circular motion.
When a body moves in a straight line with respect to time, it is known as linear motion.
When a body moves forward and backward about its mean position with respect to time, it is known as oscillatory motion
