Two simple harmonic motions with the same frequency act on a particle

Two simple harmonic motions with the same frequency act on a particle at right angles i.e., along x and y axis. If the two amplitudes are equal and the phase difference is 1/2, the resultant motion will be (a) a circle (b) an ellipse with the major axis along y-axis (c) an ellipse with the major axis along x-axis (d) a straight line inclined at 45 to the x-axis
