Which of the following relationships must hold for an object’s motion to be classified as simple harmonic motion (SHM)? (a) Fnet∝xF_{\text{net}} \propto x and directed in the same direction as the displacement (b) Fnet∝−vF_{\text{net}} \propto -v (proportional to and opposite the velocity) (c) Fnet∝−xF_{\text{net}} \propto -x (proportional to displacement and opposite in direction) (d) FnetF_{\text{net}} is constant and non–zero
