Answer:

Correct option is B.

Explanation:

Given some equations we have to choose the equation which can be used to model simple harmonic motion.

The basic equation for simple harmonic motion are

x = acos(wt) and x=asin(wt)

where x is displacement from resting position,

a is the amplitude, which is the largest displacement the object experienced, w is the angular velocity or angular frequency and t is the time.

From the given options B option matches i.e

d=acos(wt)

is the equation can be used to model simple harmonic motion.

So, correct option is B.
