[Notice about the above graphs:  On the far left end, 
the x-coordinates are all -3pi%2F2, and on the right
end they are 3pi%2F2, as those are partly cut off the
pictures.]

A is clearly periodic.  The first period
starts at -3pi%2F2 and ends at -pi%2F4.
Then at -pi%2F4 it starts repeating that exact same 
figure and ends it at pi.  Then it starts again at
pi and it is assumed top repeat that figure over
and over indefinitely.

C is clearly periodic. At pi%2F2 it starts repeating
the same figure as the figure between -3pi%2F2 to pi%2F2.

D is very clearly periodic.  It repeats the same v-shape
over and over.

B is NOT periodic because it does not repeat the same figure
at all.
