detailed solution

Correct option is A

Any to and from motion which is also periodic is said to execute simple harmonic  motion.Statement: (a):- It is periodic but does not have a to and pro motion. Hence the right  statement.Statement: (b):- It is periodic but does not have to and pro motion about a fixed  point. Hence the right statement.Statement: (c):- It is periodic and also has to and pro motion about a fixed point  making it a simple harmonic motion. Hence a wrong statementStatement: (d):- It is periodic and also has to and pro motion about a fixed point  making it a simple harmonic motion. Hence a wrong statement.This makes option (1) the right answer
