The displacement of a particle varies with time according to the relation $x = a \sin \omega t + b \cos \omega t$.

  • A
    The motion is oscillatory but not $SHM$.
  • B
    The motion is $SHM$ with amplitude $a + b$.
  • C
    The motion is $SHM$ with amplitude $a^2 + b^2$.
  • D
    The motion is $SHM$ with amplitude $\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}$.
