THIS IS A THOUGHT PROVOKING QUESTION.

THE NATURE OF PATH IS PERHAPS DETERMINED BY ITS EQUATION.
FOR E.G. IN A STRAIGHT LINE PATH THE EQUATION WILL BE
Y=mX+C

IN PARABOLA,IT CAN BE:Y²=4*a*X ETC.

NOW A NATURAL QUESTION ARISES,WHAT DETERMINES THESE EQUATIONS?
I SUPPOSE THAT THESE ARE DETERMINED BY :

1.)THE DIRECTION OF THE NET (RESTORING) FORCE OR TORQUE (INTERNAL + EXTERNAL) ACTING ON THAT SYSTEM.
2.)angle of contact(not always)(for eg in game of carrom it is the angle between the striker and the carrom men that decides the nature of path)

(D) IS CORRECT CHOICE.
