Motion in a straight line is called rectilinear motion. In other words, when an object moves along a straight-line path it is called rectilinear motion. The motion will not be exhibited by the moon moving around the earth is rectilinear motion.

Answer 2

Rectilinear motion is not exhibited by the earth moving around the sun.

Explanation:

Option : (c) Rectilinear

Earth moves around the sun which is called as revolution and when it revolves it also rotates around in its own axis that is called rotation. So circular, rotational, perodic all these options are linked with the movement of earth around in its own axis and sun also.

But the there is no scope of rectilinear option here. Since the path followed for revolution is elliptical and it takes a period of 365 days.
