(a)

The displacement of the particle is given by:

$x  =A \sin (-2 \omega t)+B \sin ^2 \omega t$

$=-A \sin 2 \omega t+\frac{B}{2}(1-\cos 2 \omega t)$

$=-\left(A \sin 2 \omega t+\frac{B}{2} \cos 2 \omega t\right)+\frac{B}{2}$

This motion represents SHM with an amplitude: $\sqrt{A^2+\frac{B^2}{4}}$, and mean position $\frac{B}{2}$
