a

Dipole soon acquires its stable equilibrium position

b

Dipole undergoes SHM if θ is small, releasing oscillation energy into heat and acquires stable equilibrium   position

c

Time period of oscillation does not depends on mass of dipole

d

Frequency of dipole is inversely proportional to square root of moment of inertia

answer is X.

Detailed Solution

There is a torque on dipole which gives an angular acceleration to dipole(α).Dipole  oscillates and energy is released  in the  form of heat to achieve stable equilibrium position.ω=pEI 2πf=pEI
