The correct answer is: Phase of the oscillator is same at \( \mathrm{t}=1 \mathrm{~s} \) and \( \mathrm{t}=5 \mathrm{~s} \).
The phase of a particle executing SHM is defined as the state of a particle as regard to its position and direction of motion at any instant of time. In the given curve, phase is same when t=1 s and t=5 s. Also phase is same when t=2 s and t=6 s .
