Detailed Solution

The above statement is True.
In a circular motion, the body rotates around a fixed point at a fixed distance. In periodic motion, the object repeats its motion after a certain time interval. Therefore, the motion of a clock is both circular and periodic. Because the clock hands move in a circular motion, they are considered to be in circular or rotational motion. As a result, the clock hands are said to be moving in a periodic and circular or rotational motion.
