Answer:

E.quadratic

Step-by-step explanation:

The length L of a simple pendulum is directly proportional to the square of the time time period

L=k T^2

k is the constant of proportionality

the above equation is quadratic in nature (power two) and the equation plotted on graph give parabolic shape.

hence the answer to the question is E. quadratic
