The correct answer is: $1 \mathrm{~cm}$
Acceleration, $a=\omega^2 x$
Velocity, $v=\omega \sqrt{A^2-x^2}$
$$
\begin{aligned}
& \omega^2 \mathrm{x}=\omega \sqrt{\mathrm{A}^2-\mathrm{x}^2} \\
& \omega^2 \mathrm{x}^2=\mathrm{A}^2-\mathrm{x}^2 \\
& 3 \mathrm{x}^2=\mathrm{A}^2-\mathrm{x}^2 \quad\left(\therefore \omega=\frac{2 \pi}{\mathrm{T}}=\sqrt{3}\right) \\
& 4 \mathrm{x}^2=\mathrm{A}^2 \\
& \mathrm{x}=\frac{\mathrm{A}}{2}=\frac{2}{2}=1 \mathrm{~cm}
\end{aligned}
$$
