For an object undergoing simple harmonic motion (SHM), at which point in its oscillation i

A) At the extreme positive displacement

B) At the extreme negative displacement

C) At the equilibrium position

D) Speed is constant throughout the motion

Explanation

In simple harmonic motion, the oscillating object experiences maximum acceleration and zero speed at the extreme displacements, and zero acceleration but maximum speed as it passes through the equilibrium position.
