Detailed Solution

eωt  is an exponential function. It does not repeat its value at regular intervals, and therefore, it is not periodic.
A function f(x) is periodic if it follows the condition f(x+T)=f(x) where T is the interval after which it repeats itself.
sin⁡ωt or  sin(ωt+π/4) is a periodic function, as any sin or cos value repeats after a period 2π.
sin(ωt+2π)=sinωt 

 sin⁡ωt+cos⁡ωt is also a periodic function.
 sinωt12+cosωt122=sinωtcosπ4+cosωtsinπ42
=2sinωt+π4
 which is a periodic function.
So, from the given functions, only e−ωt is not a periodic function, all others are periodic.
