The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Pendulum's Motion**: A pendulum is a weight suspended from a pivot that swings back and forth under the influence of gravity. 2. **Identifying the Type of Motion**: As the pendulum swings, it moves from one extreme position to the other and returns to its starting point. This movement occurs in a regular and predictable manner. 3. **Defining Periodic Motion**: Periodic motion is defined as motion that repeats itself after a fixed interval of time. The pendulum's swing fits this definition because it returns to its original position after a certain time period. 4. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the motion of the pendulum of a clock is an example of periodic motion. **Final Answer**: The motion of the pendulum of a clock is an example of periodic motion. ---
