Solution

In simple harmonic motion, the acceleration of a particle is proportional to its displacement from the equilibrium position. This is described by Hooke's law, which states that the force acting on a particle is proportional to its displacement and acts in the opposite direction. Since acceleration is force divided by mass, the acceleration is also proportional to the displacement. Therefore, the correct answer is c. Displacement.
