Solution

The correct option is B Rectilinear Motion: Motion of a child on a swing
Motion in a straight line is called rectilinear motion. For example, motion of a
vehicle on a straight road.
In circular motion an object moves such that its distance from a fixed point remains the same. For example, e motion of a point marked on the blade of an electric fan or the hands of a clock.
Motion that repeats itself after some period of time, is called periodic motion. For example, motion of a pendulum.
