A
Simple harmonic motion of frequency ω/2π
B
Simple harmonic motion of frequency ω/π
C
Simple harmonic motion of frequency 3ω/2π
D
Non simple harmonic motion
Correct Answer
Option D
Detailed Explanation
The equation d²x/dt² = -ω²x for S.H.M. is not satisfied, indicating that the motion is not simple harmonic.
