(a) periodic

EXPLANATION:  

Since a uniform circular motion repeats itself at a regular time interval.        

(b) not true because it is not a to and fro motion.            

(c) not true because SHM is a special type of oscillation.         

(d) not true because the particle is not oscillating about a fixed axis.
