The correct answer is:

x=Asinω t

v=dxdt=a ωcosω t

K.E.=12m v2

=12 m A2ω2cos2 ωt

=12 m A2ω2cos22πT t

At t=0, K.E. is maximum.

The period of K.E. graph is half of the period of displacement graph.

Comment:- The points on the graph of x-axis should be differentiable.

In all option mentioned, the graph has cusps at the points on x-axis.
