$A$ particle moves in the $xy$ plane according to the law $x = a \sin \omega t$ and $y = a(1 - \cos \omega t)$,where $a$ and $\omega$ are constants. The particle traces:

  • A
    a distance proportional to time.
  • B
    a straight line equally inclined to $x$ and $y$ axes.
  • C
    a circle.
  • D
    $(A)$ and $(C)$ both.
