Detailed Solution

He velocity is minimum (zero) at the extreme position and maximum (± ωA) at the mean position.
The acceleration is maximum $(\pm ω^{2} A)$ at the extreme positions and minimum (zero) at the mean position. Since the particle crosses the mean and extreme positions twice, during each oscillation, hence the result.
