Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

First narrow answers to CIRCULAR motion.

Only A and B have circular motion.

Second look at the keyword UNIFORM. A swing does not have uniform motion because it will accelerate due to gravity and have the most velocity at the bottom of the swing.

Therefore, it must be B.
