The correct answer is: -12π s

Given: Frequency of the simple harmonic oscillator f=1 Hz , and phase θ=1 radian

The expression of the phase of a simple harmonic oscillator is stated as θ=ωt, where ω is the angular velocity, t is the time.

ω=θt, Since ω=2πf=2π

Thus time, t=θω=12π

Hence, the shit in time should be -12π s.
