Answer:

A. Running 50m along a straight track

Explanation:

Linear motion is the motion that is natural to an object: moving in a straight line. An object not affected by any force will continue indefinitely in a straight line.

Answer:

A.Running 50 m along a straight track

Explanation: Running 50 m along a straight track is a real-world example of linear motion.Linear motion means moving along a (straight) line, a direct and straight line from point A to point B.All the other proposed answers (A,B,C) involve a curve. The two rock examples will curve due to gravity and running around a curve on a track isn't a straight line.I hope that helps you understanding the principle of linear motion.
