Simple harmonic motion is when an object goes back and forth along the same pathway.

The only ones present that have a same pathway of motion would be answers A and B.

A highway can have variable different pathways and a cat can have different ways of eating an asparagus. That is my logic and reasoning. Hope this helps!
