(D) The potential energy $(U)$ of a particle executing $S.H.M.$ at a displacement $x$ is given by $U = \frac{1}{2} k x^2$,where $k$ is the force constant.The maximum potential energy $(U_{max})$ occurs at the extreme positions where $x = \pm A$,so $U_{max} = \frac{1}{2} k A^2$.According to the problem,the potential energy is half of its maximum value: $U = \frac{1}{2} U_{max}$.Substituting the expressions: $\frac{1}{2} k x^2 = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{1}{2} k A^2)$.Simplifying the equation: $x^2 = \frac{1}{2} A^2$.Taking the square root on both sides: $x = \pm \frac{A}{\sqrt{2}}$.Thus,the displacement is $\pm \frac{A}{\sqrt{2}}$.
