- ASimple harmonic motion.
- BNon-periodic motion.
- CPeriodic motion.
- DPeriodic but not S.H.M.
- Simple harmonic motion.
- Periodic motion.
Explanation:

For small angular displacement, the situation is shown in the figure. Only one restoring force creates.
motion in ball inside bowl.
Only one restoring force creates motion in ball inside bowl.
$\text{F}=-\text{mg}\sin\theta$
As $\theta\ \text{is small},\sin\theta=\theta$
So, $\text{ma}=-\text{mg}\frac{\text{x}}{\text{R}}$
Or, $\text{a}=-\Big(\frac{\text{g}}{\text{R}}\Big)\text{x}\Rightarrow\text{a}\propto-\text{x}$
So, motion of the ball is S.H.M and periodic.
