The motion of a body is simple harmonic if the

  • A Acceleration is always directed towards a fixed point
  • B path of motion is a striaght line
  • C Acceleration is directed towards a fixed point and proportional to its distance from the point
  • D Acceleration is proportional to the square of the distance from a fixed point
  • E Acceleration is constant and directed towards a fixed point
