  • A Oscillatory
  • B Random
  • C Rotational
  • D Translational
  • E Vibratory
Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation:
A couple consists of two equal and opposite forces acting at a separation, so that net force becomes zero. When a couple acts on a body it rotates the body but does not produce any translational motion. Hence, only rotational motion is produced.
