$A$ simple harmonic oscillator of angular frequency $\omega = 2 \, rad \, s^{-1}$ is acted upon by an external force $F = \sin(t) \, N$. If the oscillator is at rest in its equilibrium position at $t = 0$,its position at later times is proportional to

  • A
    $\sin(t) + \frac{1}{2} \cos(2t)$
  • B
    $\cos(t) - \frac{1}{2} \sin(2t)$
  • C
    $\sin(t) - \frac{1}{2} \sin(2t)$
  • D
    $\sin(t) + \frac{1}{2} \sin(2t)$
