$A$ pendulum is hung from the roof of a sufficiently high building and is moving freely to and fro like a simple harmonic oscillator. The acceleration of the bob of the pendulum is $20 \; m/s^2$ at a distance of $5 \; m$ from the mean position. The time period of oscillation is

  • A
    $2\pi \; s$
  • B
    $\pi \; s$
  • C
    $1 \; s$
  • D
    $2 \; s$
