A particle constrained to move along the X-axis in a potential V = kx2, is subjected to an external time dependent force $$\overrightarrow {\bf{F}} \left( t \right).$$ Here, k is a constant, x, the distance from the origin and t is the time. At some time T, when the particle has zero velocity at x = 0, the external force is removed. The particle will
A. execute SHM
B. move along positive X-direction
C. move along negative X-direction
D. remain at rest
