Correct choice is (a) Motion of a particle in a plane
 
For explanation: From the given options, the only motion that can possibly have a uniformly accelerated motion in a plane is that of a particle. In circular motion the direction of the acceleration keeps changing and in a pendulum and in a spring, both the magnitude and directions keep changing.
