The correct answer is:
From energy conservation (there are no dissipative forces)-
The emf induced in an inductor is
The force acting on a current-carrying conductor is
Substituting the value of we get
We got acceleration in the form of
this implies that the motion is SHM, with angular frequency
The time period of motion is
