Answer: B.) Rotational motion

Explanation: An object can be explained as exhibiting a rotational state of motion if the movement of the object occurs along a circular path such that the body is positioned about a fixed point, that is the axis of rotation is fixed. Therefore, the axis or rotation point does not change and the body moves in a circular path. Rotational motion could be observed during the motion of a fan, wheels of cars or bicycles. Here, the axis of rotation is fixed at a point and the wheel of the car or blades of the fan moves along a circular path about the fixed point.
