Answer: B.riding on a ferris wheel, E.a satellite orbiting the Earth

Explanation:

Circular motion can be defined as the revolves about a point or motion along a circular path i.e. along the circumference of a circle like path.

A football when kicked for a field goal transverses in a parabolic path.

Riding in a ferris wheel is a circular motion. It revolves about its center.

a person moving up and down or back and forth is a periodic motion but it does not revolve around a point in a circle. Thus, it is not circulatory motion.

A satellite orbits the Earth in a circular path with Earth at its center. Thus, it is a circulatory motion.
