detailed solution

Correct option is D

A simple harmonic motion can be represented by the equation  a=−ω2x . where  acceleration a can be written as d2xdt2 . Hence d2xdt2=−ω2x . Writing the given equation d2xdt2+4x=0 in the above form, we get  d2xdt2=−4x. Comparing this with the above equation, we get  ω2=4. Taking square root on both sides  ω=2Using the relation  ω=2πT, we get  2=2πTHence, time period of oscillation is π s
